JSON versus CBOR

CBOR is sometimes compared to JSON.

Sometimes CBOR is called a binary JSON.

There is some truth to that, but — there are also a lot of differences between CBOR and JSON.

CBOR and JSON are similar in that — they are both ways of represents hierarchical key-value pairs.

But, CBOR has different basic-types than JSON.
