I won't have time to experiment with it before feature freeze. Technically, 
the API freeze doesn't happen until Beta, so we have a few more weeks, but I 
wouldn't hold my hopes up that I will have time to trial this.

Any chance you can give it a go? Or someone else?

Fair enough. My long-term goal is to replace the QJsonDocument internals with 
QCborContainerPrivate. That way, the conversion from JSON to CBOR is O(1) and 
the conversion backwards is just a validation.
