CBOR
Documentation for the `cbor` function.
Reads structured data from a CBOR file.
The file must contain a valid CBOR serialization. The CBOR values will be converted into corresponding Typst values as listed in the table below.
The function returns a dictionary, an array or, depending on the CBOR file, another CBOR data type.
Conversion details
| CBOR value | Converted into Typst |
|---|---|
| integer | int (or float) |
| bytes | bytes |
| float | float |
| text | str |
| bool | bool |
| null | none |
| array | array |
| map | dictionary |
| Typst value | Converted into CBOR |
|---|---|
| types that can be converted from CBOR | corresponding CBOR value |
symbol | text |
content | a map describing the content |
other types (length, etc.) | text via repr |
Notes
- Be aware that CBOR integers larger than 263-1 or smaller than -263 will be converted to floating point numbers, which may result in an approximative value.
- CBOR tags are not supported, and an error will be thrown.
- The
reprfunction is for debugging purposes only, and its output is not guaranteed to be stable across Typst versions.
