This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR, RFC 7049) serialization format.

Features: * Simple API like json or pickle modules. * Support many CBOR tags with stdlib objects. * Generic tag decoding. * Shared value references including cyclic references. * Optional C module backend tested on big- and little-endian architectures. * Extensible tagged value handling using tag_hook and object_hook on decode and default on encode. * Command-line diagnostic tool, converting CBOR file or stream to JSON (This is a lossy conversion, for diagnostics only) * Thorough test suite.

This package installs the library for Python 3.
