While this module always has to keep both CBOR text and resulting +Perl data structure in memory at one time, it does allow you to parse a +CBOR stream incrementally, using a similar to using "decode_prefix" to see +if a full CBOR object is available, but is much more efficient. + +It basically works by parsing as much of a CBOR string as possible - if +the CBOR data is not complete yet, the pasrer will remember where it was, +to be able to restart when more data has been accumulated. Once enough +data is available to either decode a complete CBOR value or raise an +error, a real decode will be attempted. + +A typical use case would be a network protocol that consists of sending +and receiving CBOR-encoded messages. The solution that works with CBOR and +about anything else is by prepending a length to every CBOR value, so the +receiver knows how many octets to read. More compact (and slightly slower) +would be to just send CBOR values back-to-back, as C knows where +a CBOR value ends, and doesn't need an explicit length. + +The following methods help with this: + +=over 4 + +=item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse ($buffer) + +This method attempts to decode exactly one CBOR value from the beginning +of the given C<$buffer>. The value is removed from the C<$buffer> on +success. When C<$buffer> doesn't contain a complete value yet, it returns +nothing. Finally, when the C<$buffer> doesn't start with something +that could ever be a valid CBOR value, it raises an exception, just as +C would. In the latter case the decoder state is undefined and +must be reset before being able to parse further. + +This method modifies the C<$buffer> in place. When no CBOR value can be +decoded, the decoder stores the current string offset. On the next call, +continues decoding at the place where it stopped before. For this to make +sense, the C<$buffer> must begin with the same octets as on previous +unsuccessful calls. + +You can call this method in scalar context, in which case it either +returns a decoded value or C. This makes it impossible to +distinguish between CBOR null values (which decode to C) and an +unsuccessful decode, which is often acceptable. + +=item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse_multiple ($buffer) + +Same as C, but attempts to decode as many CBOR values as +possible in one go, instead of at most one. Calls to C and +C can be interleaved. + +=item $cbor->incr_reset + +Resets the incremental decoder. This throws away any saved state, so that +subsequent calls to C or C start to parse +a new CBOR value from the beginning of the C<$buffer> again. + +This method can be caled at any time, but it I be called if you want +to change your C<$buffer> or there was a decoding error and you want to +reuse the C<$cbor> object for future incremental parsings. + +=back + =head1 MAPPING @@ -801,6 +865,15 @@ =over 4 +=item 0, 1 (date/time string, seconds since the epoch) + +These tags are decoded into L objects.
