One more difference: since "convert" uses QCborValue, it will normalise a few 
items:

$ ./convert/convert /tmp/test3.cbor        
[
    32("https://example.com/© "),
    0("2018-01-10T06:24:37.000Z")
]
$ ./cbordump/cbordump /tmp/test3.cbor 
[
    32("HTTPS://EXAMPLE.COM/%C2%A9 "),
    1(1515565477)
]

Note how there's information loss if you try to convert this to JSON:
$ ./convert/convert -O json /tmp/test3.cbor
[
    "https://example.com/%C2%A9%20",
    "2018-01-10T06:24:37.000Z"
]
[This was after change https://codereview.qt-project.org/217854 to QJsonValue]

$ ./cbordump/cbordump --annotated /tmp/test3.cbor
