Hello
I finished writing the documentation for the two basic classes for CBOR. You
can find them in reviews
https://codereview.qt-project.org/107465
https://codereview.qt-project.org/107466
Please review. I will take a couple more days writing the docs for
QCbor{Value,Map,Array} and then I'll upload that too.
I'm also interested in what I could write as an example. Please send
suggestions.
My current idea is a command-line tool that converts between serialisation
formats:
* CBOR
* CBOR diagnostic notation (output only, since I won't write the parser)
* JSON
* XML
* Qt binary JSON
* Plain QDataStream (output only, since it's not self-describing)
* QDataStream-serialised QVariant (is self-describing)
Though, because of the conversions, this example is ideal for QCborValue, not
the stream reader and writer.
Another idea is to update the network-chat example to use CBOR instead of its
plaintext protocol. In this one, I could use the stream reader and writer.
This example is a perfect candidate to have a CoAP version in the future too.
