FWIW, earlier today I had a nice afternoon with the msgpack-ruby C code, converting it to encoding and decoding CBOR instead. Saved ~ 250 lines of C code. Of course, I'm filling in that gap now by implementing some of the optional tags of CBOR. In the end, the implementation of a generic CBOR encoder/decoder with a sizable collection of optional tags will probably indeed be slightly larger. But if you just need the features of MessagePack, I now have one data point where CBOR measurably wins on the implementation complexity metric. Grüße, Carsten
