  Description     : Concise Binary Object Representation library

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary
Object Representation (CBOR, RFC 7049) serialization format.
There is already python-cbor in the archive, however its upstream is not
available anymore and is therefore obviously unmaintained. cbor2 is a
good replacement.

 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.
  * Extensible tagged value handling.
  * Command-line diagnostic tool, converting CBOR file or stream to JSON
  * Thorough test suite.
