# CBOR Example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
## Overview
The [CBOR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBOR)(Concise Binary Object Representation) is a binary data serialization format which is similar to JSON but with smaller footprint. This example will illustrate how to encode and decode CBOR data using the APIs provided by [tinycbor](https://github.com/intel/tinycbor).
For detailed information about how CBOR encoding and decoding works, please refer to [REF7049](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049) or [cbor.io](http://cbor.io/);
## How to use example
### Hardware Required
This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board.
### Build and Flash
Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build and flash the project.
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
