"at a cost of higher implementation and learning complexity [of YAML]".

What, YAML has high complexity? NO way!

Concise Diagnostic Notation (CDN)

This document formalizes and consolidates the definition of the Concise Diagnostic Notation (CDN) of the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), addressing implementer experience. Replacing CDN's previous informal descriptions, it updates RFC 8949, obsoleting its Section 8, and RFC 8610, obsoleting its Appendix G. It also specifies registry-based extension points and uses them to support text representations such as of epoch-based dates/times and of IP addresses and prefixes. (This cref will be removed by the RFC editor:) The present -25 is intended for the May 2026 Working Group Last Call. It corrects a clerical error in -24 , which completes the work started in PR #102 and adds a couple of paragraphs on editorial conventions. It also makes a leap ahead beyond -24 by adopting and making a detailed proposal (PR #105) for a renaming choice that was discussed at the 2026-05-13 CBOR interim WG meeting.

People keep reinventing serialisation, generally badly. A year ago I proposed my own as a joke:

What I find fascinating, is that I keep seing proposals which are probably worse…

The grumpy serialisation format

Every few years we reinvent data serialisation. CDR (CORBA) replaced EDI, and was replaced by XML, and now, clearly JSON is the solution, while ASN.1 still lurks in the shadows. And then it stuck m…

I used to not like JSON-LD. And then I got exposed to CBOR. And, since then, I ended up liking JSON-LD more than I did before.

https://j12t.social/@j12t/114581086678041245

...

I was looking for performant ways of storing JSON-LD data, so that it can be looked up, queried, etc.

CBOR might actually be a way of doing that.

...

For me that is an odd realization given me liking JSON-LD is a reaction to CBOR.

OH: "I didn't like JSON-LD, but then I saw CBOR, and now I like JSON-LD much better"

Watched @pid_eins #fosdem2026 presentation record about #Varlink. I think the idea is good, except it should use some binary protocol for communication between services. RFC 8949 #CBOR seems like excellent candidate. Text serialization is not necessary if human is never direct part of a pipeline. Data conversion is not slow, but not necessary between localhost- only services.

The sign is a lie (and they knew that advance: train goes only to Köln), but still on my way to #FOSDEM.

Happy any time to talk about #CoAP, #CBOR, #DectNrPlus, IoT security and embedded Rust development, especially on @ariel and @RIOT_OS.

Hello #Proteomics !

Thinking about a better mzML to store proteomics data, but not convinced by the #parquet approach, I've converted it into #CBOR :
* Smaller data files (only 66% of the mzML original file) for the exact same data
* Faster to read (25s for a big mzML vs 18s in mzcbor on the same computer)
* Very quick random access to spectra (24.6577 ms for mzML vs 786.731 μs for mzcbor for the same operation using index)

I'd like to share it if you are interested at #eubIC #eubic2026

Проектируем как синьор: универсальная бинаризация

Здравствуйте, меня зовут Дмитрий Карловский и я.. да не важно кто я. Важно о чём я говорю, и как аргументирую. Кто меня знает, тому и не надо рассказывать. А кто не знает — у того есть прекрасная возможность подойти к вопросу с чистым разумом. А это крайне важно, если мы хотим спроектировать что-то по настоящему хорошо, а не как обычно. Что ещё за VaryPack?

JSON? JSONB? BSON? CBOR? MsgPack? А, VaryPackǃ

VaryPack - новый, простой, гибкий, шустрый и компактный формат бинарной сериализации произвольных данных. Что за модная тема?

@algernon Still undecided, I'm considering #CBOR diagnostic format, but it's not ideal either.
