This updated version CBOR Stream Decoder with float16 support.
cbor2json decodes a stream of CBOR bytes into JSON. CBOR stream could be copressed by gzip.
Usage:
cbor2json [-in inputFile] [-out outputFile] [-follow]
Run `csd -h` for a list of supported options and usage.
If `-in` is omitted, csd reads from stdin.
If `-out` is omitted, csd writes to stdout.
Suppose CBOR encoded data is present in file cbor.log, you could do one of these methods to convert to JSON using csd:
Input from file, output to stdout :
$ csd -in cbor.log
{"level":"error","Fault":41650,"time":"2018-03-31T07:17:19-07:00","message":"TCA:"}
{"level":"error","Fault":41654,"time":"2018-03-31T07:17:19-07:00","message":"TCA:"}
...
Input from stdin, output to stdout
$ cat cbor.log | csd
{"level":"error","Fault":41650,"time":"2018-03-31T07:17:19-07:00","message":"TCA:"}
{"level":"error","Fault":41654,"time":"2018-03-31T07:17:19-07:00","message":"TCA:"}
...
Input from file, output to file
$ csd -in cbor.log -out json.txt
$ cat json.txt
{"level":"error","Fault":41650,"time":"2018-03-31T07:17:19-07:00","message":"TCA:"}
{"level":"error","Fault":41654,"time":"2018-03-31T07:17:19-07:00","message":"TCA:"}
...
The input is expected to be CBOR data (either gzib-compressed or not). It is NOT possible to detect JSON (text) output reliably since binary format spans over JSON character set also.
