Gah, that was almost unreadable due to the many typos and inconsistencies. First:<p><i>For example, the number 10 is encoded as 0x10.</i><p>As an example, that is <i>fantastically</i> opaque. It tells me nothing sensible at all, there could just be a magic look-up table that you're assumed to know, for all I know. I can't draw any conclusions that lead me to believe that CBOR is "simple" from that example.<p>Then, it contradicts the above in the table, where it claims:<p><pre><code> 10 0x0a
</code></pre>
It also shows bit numbers numbered from 1 to 8, left to right, which is very different from how bits are typically numbered (from 0 to 7, right to left) and thus makes me even <i>more</i> confused.
