		300	If C<$enabled> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will encode all

		302
		303	If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode hash keys
		304	normally - upgraded perl strings (strings internally encoded as UTF-8) as
		305	CBOR text strings, and downgraded perl strings as CBOR byte strings.
		306
		307	This option does not affect C<decode> in any way.
		308
		309	This option is useful for interoperability with CBOR decoders that don't
		310	treat byte strings as a form of text. It is especially useful as Perl
		311	gives very little control over hash keys.
		312
		313	Enabling this option can be slow, as all downgraded hash keys that are

		328	normally (but see C<text_keys>) - upgraded perl strings (strings

		330	strings as CBOR byte strings.
		331
		332	This option does not affect C<decode> in any way.
		333
		334	This option has similar advantages and disadvantages as C<text_keys>. In
		335	addition, this option effectively removes the ability to encode byte
		336	strings, which might break some C<FREEZE> and C<TO_CBOR> methods that rely
		337	on this, such as bignum encoding, so this option is mainly useful for very

		396	the C<default_filter> but uses the C<%CBOR::XS::SAFE_FILTER> variable
		397	instead. It is prepopulated with the tag decoding functions that are
		398	deemed safe (basically the same as C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> without all
		399	the bignum tags), and can be extended by user code as wlel, although,

		1082	=item CBOR::XS can invoke almost arbitrary callbacks during decoding
		1083
		1084	CBOR::XS supports object serialisation - decoding CBOR can cause calls
		1085	to I<any> C<THAW> method in I<any> package that exists in your process
		1086	(that is, CBOR::XS will not try to load modules, but any existing C<THAW>
		1087	method or function can be called, so they all have to be secure).
		1088
		1089	Less obviously, it will also invoke C<TO_CBOR> and C<FREEZE> methods -
		1090	even if all your C<THAW> methods are secure, encoding data structures from
		1091	untrusted sources can invoke those and trigger bugs in those.
		1092
		1093	So, if you are not sure about the security of all the modules you
		1094	have loaded (you shouldn't), you should disable this part using
		1095	C<forbid_objects> or using C<new_safe>.
		1096
		1097	=item CBOR can be extended with tags that call library code
		1098
		1099	CBOR can be extended with tags, and C<CBOR::XS> has a registry of
		1100	conversion functions for many existing tags that can be extended via
		1101	third-party modules (see the C<filter> method).
		1102
		1103	If you don't trust these, you should configure the "safe" filter function,
		1104	C<CBOR::XS::safe_filter> (C<new_safe> does this), which by default only
		1105	includes conversion functions that are considered "safe" by the author
		1106	(but again, they can be extended by third party modules).
		1107
		1108	Depending on your level of paranoia, you can use the "safe" filter:
		1109
		1110	$cbor->filter (\&CBOR::XS::safe_filter);
		1111
		1112	... your own filter...
		1113

		1115
		1116	... or even no filter at all, disabling all tag decoding:
		1117
		1118	$cbor->filter (sub { });
		1119
		1120	This is never a problem for encoding, as the tag mechanism only exists in

		1177
		1178	CBOR::XS provides a C<TO_CBOR> method for both L<Math::BigInt> and
		1179	L<Math::BigFloat> that tries to encode the number in the simplest possible
		1180	way, that is, either a CBOR integer, a CBOR bigint/decimal fraction (tag
		1181	4) or an arbitrary-exponent decimal fraction (tag 264). Rational numbers
		1182	(L<Math::BigRat>, tag 30) can also contain bignums as members.
		1183
		1184	CBOR::XS will also understand base-2 bigfloat or arbitrary-exponent
		1185	bigfloats (tags 5 and 265), but it will never generate these on its own.
		1186
		1187	Using the built-in L<Math::BigInt::Calc> support, encoding and decoding
		1188	decimal fractions is generally fast. Decoding bigints can be slow for very
		1189	big numbers (tens of thousands of digits, something that could potentially
		1190	be caught by limiting the size of CBOR texts), and decoding bigfloats or
		1191	arbitrary-exponent bigfloats can be I<extremely> slow (minutes, decades)
		1192	for large exponents (roughly 40 bit and longer).
		1193
		1194	Additionally, L<Math::BigInt> can take advantage of other bignum
		1195	libraries, such as L<Math::GMP>, which cannot handle big floats with large
		1196	exponents, and might simply abort or crash your program, due to their code
		1197	quality.
		1198
		1199	This can be a concern if you want to parse untrusted CBOR. If it is, you
		1200	might want to disable decoding of tag 2 (bigint) and 3 (negative bigint)
		1201	types. You should also disable types 5 and 265, as these can be slow even
		1202	without bigints.
		1203
		1204	Disabling bigints will also partially or fully disable types that rely on
		1205	them, e.g. rational numbers that use bignums.
