460=head1 THE CBOR::XS::Tagged CLASS
461
462CBOR has the concept of tagged values - any CBOR value can be tagged with
463a numeric 64 bit number, which are centrally administered.
464
465C<CBOR::XS> handles a few tags internally when en- or decoding. You can
466also create tags yourself by encoding C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects, and the
467decoder will create C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects itself when it hits an
468unknown tag.
469
470These objects are simply blessed array references - the first member of
471the array being the numerical tag, the second being the value.
472
473You can interact with C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects in the following ways:
474
475=over 4
476
477=item $tagged = CBOR::XS::tag $tag, $value
478
479This function(!) creates a new C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object using the given
480C<$tag> (0..2**64-1) to tag the given C<$value> (which can be any Perl
481value that can be encoded in CBOR, including serialisable Perl objects and
482C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects).

522=head2 EXAMPLES
523
524Here are some examples of C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> uses to tag objects.
525
526You can look up CBOR tag value and emanings in the IANA registry at
527L<http://www.iana.org/assignments/cbor-tags/cbor-tags.xhtml>.
528
529Prepend a magic header (C<$CBOR::XS::MAGIC>):
530
531 my $cbor = encode_cbor CBOR::XS::tag 55799, $value;
532 # same as:
533 my $cbor = $CBOR::XS::MAGIC . encode_cbor $value;
534
535Serialise some URIs and a regex in an array:
536
537 my $cbor = encode_cbor [
538 (CBOR::XS::tag 32, "http://www.nethype.de/"),
539 (CBOR::XS::tag 32, "http://software.schmorp.de/"),
540 (CBOR::XS::tag 35, "^[Pp][Ee][Rr][lL]\$"),
541 ];
542
543Wrap CBOR data in CBOR:
544
545 my $cbor_cbor = encode_cbor
546 CBOR::XS::tag 24,
547 encode_cbor [1, 2, 3];
