		49	data later you might want to compare both formats first).
		50
		51	To give you a general idea about speed, with texts in the megabyte range,
		52	C<CBOR::XS> usually encodes roughly twice as fast as L<Storable> or
		53	L<JSON::XS> and decodes about 15%-30% faster than those. The shorter the
		54	data, the worse L<Storable> performs in comparison.
		55
		56	As for compactness, C<CBOR::XS> encoded data structures are usually about
		57	20% smaller than the same data encoded as (compact) JSON or L<Storable>.
		58
		59	In addition to the core CBOR data format, this module implements a number
		60	of extensions, to support cyclic and self-referencing data structures
		61	(see C<allow_sharing>), string deduplication (see C<pack_strings>) and
		62	scalar references (always enabled).

		172	example, filehandles) but instead will encode a CBOR C<error> value.
		173
		174	If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will throw an
		175	exception when it encounters anything it cannot encode as CBOR.
		176
		177	This option does not affect C<decode> in any way, and it is recommended to

		181
		182	=item $enabled = $cbor->get_allow_sharing
		183
		184	If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will not double-encode
		185	values that have been referenced before (e.g. when the same object, such
		186	as an array, is referenced multiple times), but instead will emit a
		187	reference to the earlier value.
		188
		189	This means that such values will only be encoded once, and will not result
		190	in a deep cloning of the value on decode, in decoders supporting the value
		191	sharing extension. This also makes it possible to encode cyclic data
		192	structures.
		193
		194	It is recommended to leave it off unless you know your
		195	communication partner supports the value sharing extensions to CBOR
		196	(http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing), as without decoder support, the
		197	resulting data structure might be unusable.
		198
		199	Detecting shared values incurs a runtime overhead when values are encoded
		200	that have a reference counter large than one, and might unnecessarily
		201	increase the encoded size, as potentially shared values are encode as
		202	sharable whether or not they are actually shared.
		203
		204	At the moment, only targets of references can be shared (e.g. scalars,
		205	arrays or hashes pointed to by a reference). Weirder constructs, such as
		206	an array with multiple "copies" of the I<same> string, which are hard but
		207	not impossible to create in Perl, are not supported (this is the same as
		208	with L<Storable>).
		209
		210	If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode shared
		211	data structures repeatedly, unsharing them in the process. Cyclic data
		212	structures cannot be encoded in this mode.
		213
		214	This option does not affect C<decode> in any way - shared values and
		215	references will always be decoded properly if present.
		216
		217	=item $cbor = $cbor->pack_strings ([$enable])
		218
		219	=item $enabled = $cbor->get_pack_strings
		220
		221	If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will try not to encode
		222	the same string twice, but will instead encode a reference to the string
		223	instead. Depending on your data format, this can save a lot of space, but
		224	also results in a very large runtime overhead (expect encoding times to be
		225	2-4 times as high as without).
		226
		227	It is recommended to leave it off unless you know your
		228	communications partner supports the stringref extension to CBOR
		229	(http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref), as without decoder support, the
		230	resulting data structure might not be usable.
		231
		232	If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode strings
		233	the standard CBOR way.
		234
		235	This option does not affect C<decode> in any way - string references will
		236	always be decoded properly if present.

		238	=item $cbor = $cbor->filter ([$cb->($tag, $value)])
		239
		240	=item $cb_or_undef = $cbor->get_filter
		241
		242	Sets or replaces the tagged value decoding filter (when C<$cb> is
		243	specified) or clears the filter (if no argument or C<undef> is provided).
		244
		245	The filter callback is called only during decoding, when a non-enforced
		246	tagged value has been decoded (see L<TAG HANDLING AND EXTENSIONS> for a
		247	list of enforced tags). For specific tags, it's often better to provide a
		248	default converter using the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash (see below).
		249
		250	The first argument is the numerical tag, the second is the (decoded) value
		251	that has been tagged.
		252
		253	The filter function should return either exactly one value, which will
		254	replace the tagged value in the decoded data structure, or no values,
		255	which will result in default handling, which currently means the decoder
		256	creates a C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object to hold the tag and the value.
		257
		258	When the filter is cleared (the default state), the default filter
		259	function, C<CBOR::XS::default_filter>, is used. This function simply looks
		260	up the tag in the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash. If an entry exists it must be
		261	a code reference that is called with tag and value, and is responsible for
		262	decoding the value. If no entry exists, it returns no values.
		263
		264	Example: decode all tags not handled internally into CBOR::XS::Tagged
		265	objects, with no other special handling (useful when working with
		266	potentially "unsafe" CBOR data).

		462	=head2 OBJECT SERIALISATION
349		463
		464	This module knows two way to serialise a Perl object: The CBOR-specific
		465	way, and the generic way.
		466
		467	Whenever the encoder encounters a Perl object that it cnanot serialise
		468	directly (most of them), it will first look up the C<TO_CBOR> method on
		469	it.
		470
		471	If it has a C<TO_CBOR> method, it will call it with the object as only
		472	argument, and expects exactly one return value, which it will then
		473	substitute and encode it in the place of the object.
		474
		475	Otherwise, it will look up the C<FREEZE> method. If it exists, it will
		476	call it with the object as first argument, and the constant string C<CBOR>
		477	as the second argument, to distinguish it from other serialisers.
		478
		479	The C<FREEZE> method can return any number of values (i.e. zero or
		480	more). These will be encoded as CBOR perl object, together with the
		481	classname.
		482
		483	If an object supports neither C<TO_CBOR> nor C<FREEZE>, encoding will fail
		484	with an error.
		485
		486	Objects encoded via C<TO_CBOR> cannot be automatically decoded, but
		487	objects encoded via C<FREEZE> can be decoded using the following protocol:
		488
		489	When an encoded CBOR perl object is encountered by the decoder, it will
		490	look up the C<THAW> method, by using the stored classname, and will fail
		491	if the method cannot be found.
		492
		493	After the lookup it will call the C<THAW> method with the stored classname
		494	as first argument, the constant string C<CBOR> as second argument, and all
		495	values returned by C<FREEZE> as remaining arguments.
		496
		497	=head4 EXAMPLES
		498
		499	Here is an example C<TO_CBOR> method:
		500
		501	sub My::Object::TO_CBOR {
		502	my ($obj) = @_;
		503
		504	["this is a serialised My::Object object", $obj->{id}]
		505	}
		506
		507	When a C<My::Object> is encoded to CBOR, it will instead encode a simple
		508	array with two members: a string, and the "object id". Decoding this CBOR
		509	string will yield a normal perl array reference in place of the object.
		510
		511	A more useful and practical example would be a serialisation method for
		512	the URI module. CBOR has a custom tag value for URIs, namely 32:
		513
		514	sub URI::TO_CBOR {
		515	my ($self) = @_;
		516	my $uri = "$self"; # stringify uri
		517	utf8::upgrade $uri; # make sure it will be encoded as UTF-8 string
		518	CBOR::XS::tagged 32, "$_[0]"
		519	}
		520
		521	This will encode URIs as a UTF-8 string with tag 32, which indicates an
		522	URI.
		523
		524	Decoding such an URI will not (currently) give you an URI object, but
		525	instead a CBOR::XS::Tagged object with tag number 32 and the string -
		526	exactly what was returned by C<TO_CBOR>.
		527
		528	To serialise an object so it can automatically be deserialised, you need
		529	to use C<FREEZE> and C<THAW>. To take the URI module as example, this
		530	would be a possible implementation:
		531
		532	sub URI::FREEZE {
		533	my ($self, $serialiser) = @_;
		534	"$self" # encode url string
		535	}
		536
		537	sub URI::THAW {
		538	my ($class, $serialiser, $uri) = @_;
		539
		540	$class->new ($uri)
		541	}
		542
		543	Unlike C<TO_CBOR>, multiple values can be returned by C<FREEZE>. For
		544	example, a C<FREEZE> method that returns "type", "id" and "variant" values
		545	would cause an invocation of C<THAW> with 5 arguments:
		546
		547	sub My::Object::FREEZE {
		548	my ($self, $serialiser) = @_;
		549
		550	($self->{type}, $self->{id}, $self->{variant})
		551	}
		552
		553	sub My::Object::THAW {
		554	my ($class, $serialiser, $type, $id, $variant) = @_;
		555
		556	$class-<new (type => $type, id => $id, variant => $variant)

		573	=head1 THE CBOR::XS::Tagged CLASS
		574
		575	CBOR has the concept of tagged values - any CBOR value can be tagged with
		576	a numeric 64 bit number, which are centrally administered.
		577
		578	C<CBOR::XS> handles a few tags internally when en- or decoding. You can
		579	also create tags yourself by encoding C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects, and the
		580	decoder will create C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects itself when it hits an
		581	unknown tag.
		582
		583	These objects are simply blessed array references - the first member of
		584	the array being the numerical tag, the second being the value.
		585
		586	You can interact with C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects in the following ways:
		587
		588	=over 4
		589
		590	=item $tagged = CBOR::XS::tag $tag, $value
		591
		592	This function(!) creates a new C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object using the given
		593	C<$tag> (0..2**64-1) to tag the given C<$value> (which can be any Perl
		594	value that can be encoded in CBOR, including serialisable Perl objects and
		595	C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> objects).

		635	=head2 EXAMPLES
		636
		637	Here are some examples of C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> uses to tag objects.
		638
		639	You can look up CBOR tag value and emanings in the IANA registry at
		640	L<http://www.iana.org/assignments/cbor-tags/cbor-tags.xhtml>.
		641
		642	Prepend a magic header (C<$CBOR::XS::MAGIC>):
		643
		644	my $cbor = encode_cbor CBOR::XS::tag 55799, $value;
		645	# same as:
		646	my $cbor = $CBOR::XS::MAGIC . encode_cbor $value;
		647
		648	Serialise some URIs and a regex in an array:
		649
		650	my $cbor = encode_cbor [
		651	(CBOR::XS::tag 32, "http://www.nethype.de/"),
		652	(CBOR::XS::tag 32, "http://software.schmorp.de/"),
		653	(CBOR::XS::tag 35, "^[Pp][Ee][Rr][lL]\$"),
		654	];
		655
		656	Wrap CBOR data in CBOR:
		657
		658	my $cbor_cbor = encode_cbor
		659	CBOR::XS::tag 24,
		660	encode_cbor [1, 2, 3];
		661
		662	=head1 TAG HANDLING AND EXTENSIONS
		663
		664	This section describes how this module handles specific tagged values
		665	and extensions. If a tag is not mentioned here and no additional filters
		666	are provided for it, then the default handling applies (creating a
		667	CBOR::XS::Tagged object on decoding, and only encoding the tag when
		668	explicitly requested).
		669
		670	Tags not handled specifically are currently converted into a
		671	L<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object, which is simply a blessed array reference
		672	consisting of the numeric tag value followed by the (decoded) CBOR value.
		673
		674	Future versions of this module reserve the right to special case
		675	additional tags (such as base64url).
		676
		677	=head2 ENFORCED TAGS
		678
		679	These tags are always handled when decoding, and their handling cannot be
		680	overriden by the user.
		681
		682	=over 4
		683
		684	=item <unassigned> (perl-object, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/perl-object>)
		685
		686	These tags are automatically created (and decoded) for serialisable
		687	objects using the C<FREEZE/THAW> methods (the L<Types::Serialier> object
		688	serialisation protocol). See L<OBJECT SERIALISATION> for details.
		689
		690	=item <unassigned>, <unassigned> (sharable, sharedref, L <http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing>)
		691
		692	These tags are automatically decoded when encountered, resulting in
		693	shared values in the decoded object. They are only encoded, however, when
		694	C<allow_sharable> is enabled.
		695
		696	=item <unassigned>, <unassigned> (stringref-namespace, stringref, L <http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref>)
		697
		698	These tags are automatically decoded when encountered. They are only
		699	encoded, however, when C<pack_strings> is enabled.
		700
		701	=item 22098 (indirection, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection>)
		702
		703	This tag is automatically generated when a reference are encountered (with
		704	the exception of hash and array refernces). It is converted to a reference
		705	when decoding.
		706
		707	=item 55799 (self-describe CBOR, RFC 7049)
		708
		709	This value is not generated on encoding (unless explicitly requested by
		710	the user), and is simply ignored when decoding.
		711
		712	=back
		713
		714	=head2 NON-ENFORCED TAGS
		715
		716	These tags have default filters provided when decoding. Their handling can
		717	be overriden by changing the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> entry for the tag, or by
		718	providing a custom C<filter> callback when decoding.
		719
		720	When they result in decoding into a specific Perl class, the module
		721	usually provides a corresponding C<TO_CBOR> method as well.
		722
		723	When any of these need to load additional modules that are not part of the
		724	perl core distribution (e.g. L<URI>), it is (currently) up to the user to
		725	provide these modules. The decoding usually fails with an exception if the
		726	required module cannot be loaded.
		727
		728	=over 4
		729
		730	=item 2, 3 (positive/negative bignum)
		731
		732	These tags are decoded into L<Math::BigInt> objects. The corresponding
		733	C<Math::BigInt::TO_CBOR> method encodes "small" bigints into normal CBOR
		734	integers, and others into positive/negative CBOR bignums.
		735
		736	=item 4, 5 (decimal fraction/bigfloat)
		737
		738	Both decimal fractions and bigfloats are decoded into L<Math::BigFloat>
		739	objects. The corresponding C<Math::BigFloat::TO_CBOR> method I<always>
		740	encodes into a decimal fraction.
		741
		742	CBOR cannot represent bigfloats with I<very> large exponents - conversion
		743	of such big float objects is undefined.
		744
		745	Also, NaN and infinities are not encoded properly.
		746
		747	=item 21, 22, 23 (expected later JSON conversion)
		748
		749	CBOR::XS is not a CBOR-to-JSON converter, and will simply ignore these
		750	tags.
		751
		752	=item 32 (URI)
		753
		754	These objects decode into L<URI> objects. The corresponding
		755	C<URI::TO_CBOR> method again results in a CBOR URI value.
		756
		757	=back
