  Description     : Node.js modules to encode and parse data in CBOR data format

node-cbor provides binaries and libraries to encode and parse data in the
Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) data format (RFC8949).
It provides:
 * cbor: a node-centric CBOR processor
 * cbor-web: the "cbor" package compiled for use on the web
 * cbor-cli: a set of command-line tools for working with node-cbor
   package

This is a dependency of popular node-ava test suite which is required to
test many actual node-* packages. For now, JS Team uses some patches to
replace it by tape or jest but this doesn't permit to enable all checks.

node-cbor will be maintained under JS Team umbrella.
