-WARNING! This module is very new, and not very well tested (that's up
-to you to do). Furthermore, details of the implementation might change

-assignment, and until that assignment is official, this implementation is
-not interoperable with other implementations (even future versions of this
-module) until the assignment is done.
-You are still invited to try out CBOR, and this module.

 Representation (CBOR) and vice versa. CBOR is a fast binary serialisation

 C<CBOR::XS> usually encodes roughly twice as fast as L<Storable> or

 data, the worse L<Storable> performs in comparison.

+of the official UTF-8.
+If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will blindly accept

+Sets or replaces the tagged value decoding filter (when C<$cb> is
+specified) or clears the filter (if no argument or C<undef> is provided).
+The filter callback is called only during decoding, when a non-enforced
+tagged value has been decoded (see L<TAG HANDLING AND EXTENSIONS> for a
+list of enforced tags). For specific tags, it's often better to provide a
+default converter using the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash (see below).
+The first argument is the numerical tag, the second is the (decoded) value
+that has been tagged.
+The filter function should return either exactly one value, which will
+replace the tagged value in the decoded data structure, or no values,
+which will result in default handling, which currently means the decoder
+creates a C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object to hold the tag and the value.
+When the filter is cleared (the default state), the default filter
+function, C<CBOR::XS::default_filter>, is used. This function simply looks
+up the tag in the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash. If an entry exists it must be
+a code reference that is called with tag and value, and is responsible for
+decoding the value. If no entry exists, it returns no values.
+Example: decode all tags not handled internally into C<CBOR::XS::Tagged>
+objects, with no other special handling (useful when working with
+potentially "unsafe" CBOR data).
+   CBOR::XS->new->filter (sub { })->decode ($cbor_data);

+into some string form.

+=head2 INCREMENTAL PARSING
+In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of JSON
+texts. 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<CBOR::XS> 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<decode> 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<undef>. This makes it impossible to
+distinguish between CBOR null values (which decode to C<undef>) and an
+unsuccessful decode, which is often acceptable.
+=item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse_multiple ($buffer)
+Same as C<incr_parse>, but attempts to decode as many CBOR values as
+possible in one go, instead of at most one. Calls to C<incr_parse> and
+C<incr_parse_multiple> can be interleaved.
+=item $cbor->incr_reset
+Resets the incremental decoder. This throws away any saved state, so that
+subsequent calls to C<incr_parse> or C<incr_parse_multiple> start to parse
+a new CBOR value from the beginning of the C<$buffer> again.
+This method can be caled at any time, but it I<must> 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.

 =item simple scalars
-TODO
 Simple Perl scalars (any scalar that is not a reference) are the most
 difficult objects to encode: CBOR::XS will encode undefined scalars as
 CBOR null values, scalars that have last been used in a string context
 before encoding as CBOR strings, and anything else as number value:
    # dump as number
    encode_cbor [2]                      # yields [2]
    encode_cbor [-3.0e17]                # yields [-3e+17]
    my $value = 5; encode_cbor [$value]  # yields [5]
-   # used as string, so dump as string
+   # used as string, so dump as string (either byte or text)
    print $value;
    encode_cbor [$value]                 # yields ["5"]
    # undef becomes null
    encode_cbor [undef]                  # yields [null]
    my $x = 3.1; # some variable containing a number
    "$x";        # stringified
    $x .= "";    # another, more awkward way to stringify
    print $x;    # perl does it for you, too, quite often
+You can force whether a string ie encoded as byte or text string by using
+C<utf8::upgrade> and C<utf8::downgrade>):
+  utf8::upgrade $x;   # encode $x as text string
+  utf8::downgrade $x; # encode $x as byte string
+Perl doesn't define what operations up- and downgrade strings, so if the
+difference between byte and text is important, you should up- or downgrade
+your string as late as possible before encoding.
 You can force the type to be a CBOR number by numifying it:
    my $x = "3"; # some variable containing a string
    $x += 0;     # numify it, ensuring it will be dumped as a number

 =head2 OBJECT SERIALISATION
+This module implements both a CBOR-specific and the generic
+L<Types::Serialier> object serialisation protocol. The following
+subsections explain both methods.
+=head3 ENCODING
 This module knows two way to serialise a Perl object: The CBOR-specific
 way, and the generic way.
-Whenever the encoder encounters a Perl object that it cnanot serialise
+Whenever the encoder encounters a Perl object that it cannot serialise
 directly (most of them), it will first look up the C<TO_CBOR> method on
 it.
 If it has a C<TO_CBOR> method, it will call it with the object as only
 argument, and expects exactly one return value, which it will then
 The C<FREEZE> method can return any number of values (i.e. zero or
 more). These will be encoded as CBOR perl object, together with the
 classname.
+These methods I<MUST NOT> change the data structure that is being
+serialised. Failure to comply to this can result in memory corruption -
+and worse.
 If an object supports neither C<TO_CBOR> nor C<FREEZE>, encoding will fail
 with an error.
+=head3 DECODING

-objects encoded via C<FREEZE> can be decoded using the following protocol:
+but objects encoded via C<FREEZE> can be decoded using the following
+protocol:
 When an encoded CBOR perl object is encountered by the decoder, it will
 look up the C<THAW> method, by using the stored classname, and will fail
 if the method cannot be found.
 After the lookup it will call the C<THAW> method with the stored classname
 as first argument, the constant string C<CBOR> as second argument, and all
 values returned by C<FREEZE> as remaining arguments.
-=head4 EXAMPLES
+=head3 EXAMPLES
 Here is an example C<TO_CBOR> method:
    sub My::Object::TO_CBOR {
       my ($obj) = @_;
   sub URI::TO_CBOR {
      my ($self) = @_;
      my $uri = "$self"; # stringify uri
      utf8::upgrade $uri; # make sure it will be encoded as UTF-8 string
-     CBOR::XS::tagged 32, "$_[0]"
+     CBOR::XS::tag 32, "$_[0]"
   }
 This will encode URIs as a UTF-8 string with tag 32, which indicates an
 URI.
 and extensions. If a tag is not mentioned here and no additional filters
 are provided for it, then the default handling applies (creating a
 CBOR::XS::Tagged object on decoding, and only encoding the tag when
 explicitly requested).
+Tags not handled specifically are currently converted into a
+L<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object, which is simply a blessed array reference
+consisting of the numeric tag value followed by the (decoded) CBOR value.
 Future versions of this module reserve the right to special case
 additional tags (such as base64url).

+providing a custom C<filter> callback when decoding.
 When they result in decoding into a specific Perl class, the module
 usually provides a corresponding C<TO_CBOR> method as well.
 When any of these need to load additional modules that are not part of the
 perl core distribution (e.g. L<URI>), it is (currently) up to the user to
 provide these modules. The decoding usually fails with an exception if the
 required module cannot be loaded.

+=item 0, 1 (date/time string, seconds since the epoch)
+These tags are decoded into L<Time::Piece> objects. The corresponding
+C<Time::Piece::TO_CBOR> method always encodes into tag 1 values currently.
+The L<Time::Piece> API is generally surprisingly bad, and fractional
+seconds are only accidentally kept intact, so watch out. On the plus side,
+the module comes with perl since 5.10, which has to count for something.
 =item 2, 3 (positive/negative bignum)
 These tags are decoded into L<Math::BigInt> objects. The corresponding
 C<Math::BigInt::TO_CBOR> method encodes "small" bigints into normal CBOR
 properly. Half precision types are accepted, but not encoded.
 Strict mode and canonical mode are not implemented.
+=head1 LIMITATIONS ON PERLS WITHOUT 64-BIT INTEGER SUPPORT
+On perls that were built without 64 bit integer support (these are rare
+nowadays, even on 32 bit architectures, as all major Perl distributions
+are built with 64 bit integer support), support for any kind of 64 bit
+integer in CBOR is very limited - most likely, these 64 bit values will
+be truncated, corrupted, or otherwise not decoded correctly. This also
+includes string, array and map sizes that are stored as 64 bit integers.
 =head1 THREADS
 This module is I<not> guaranteed to be thread safe and there are no
 plans to change this until Perl gets thread support (as opposed to the
 horribly slow so-called "threads" which are simply slow and bloated
