[Interest] QCborValue and Qt types

[Andrew Ialacci]

You are exactly correct. Returning a QCborValue is what I want to do. Was writing on phone in a movie theater. :P

One other question:

For the core parts of our infrastructure we use RapidJSON rather than QTs JSON classes as it’s over twice as performant. 

Do you know off hand how how QTs CBOR implantation would stack up against RapidJSON in terms of pure object serialization performance?

Thank you sincerely for your time 🍍
