NAME

       cbor2json - convert CBOR wire protocol to JSON

SYNOPSIS

         cbor2json test.cbor > test.json

DESCRIPTION

       cbor2json  creates a JSON file that mirrors (somewhat) the intent of the input set of CBOR
       files.  For the subset  of  CBOR  that  directly  maps  to  JSON,  the  output  will  seem
       reasonable.   For  CBOR inputs that do not map nicely to JSON, substitutions are made that
       may or may not match your expectations.  For example, the input:

         0xc100
           c1                -- Tag 1 (Date)
             00              -- 0

       produces the following output that does not round-trip back to the same CBOR input:

         "1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"

OPTIONS

       -: read from stdin instead of a file.  This is the default.

       -x [string]: read the input from the hex-encoded string on the command line

       -V, --version: print the node-cbor version and exit

       -h, --help: print some help text and exit
