cbor: compatible with encoder/json

[jbenet]

encoding/json uses map[string]interface{} which is incompatible with map[interface{}]interface{}. parsing cbor and encoding to json is not happy:

json: unsupported type: map[interface {}]interface {}

I made a nice cli tool to check this:

• https://github.com/jbenet/go-json2cbor/json2cbor

cat a_bunch_of.json | json2cbor j2c >a_bunch_of.cbor
cat a_bunch_of.cbor | json2cbor c2j >a_bunch_of.json

Can use with https://github.com/jbenet/node-random-json-stream to check things. Setup:

go get github.com/jbenet/go-json2cbor/json2cbor
npm install -g random-json-stream

Test codec with:

random-json -o | json2cbor j2c | json2cbor c2j

Test JSON->CBOR->JSON roundtripping with:

random-json -o -c 10 | tee a.json | json2cbor j2c | json2cbor c2j >b.json && diff a.json b.json

I should note that the codec seems to fail when i try to convert 10+ json->cbor->json items. with:

unexpected EOF

it could be the tool, but i believe it's something about the codec.

nevermind. I made a mistake
