NAME

Cro::CBOR - Support CBOR in Cro for body parsing/serializing

SYNOPSIS

use Cro::CBOR;

# SERVER SIDE
route {
    get -> 'cbor' {
        web-socket :cbor, -> $incoming {             # NOTE `:cbor`
            supply whenever $incoming -> $message {
                my $body = await $message.body;      # NOTE `$message.body` (not -text)
                ... "Generate $response here";
                emit $response;
            }
        }
    }
}

# CLIENT SIDE
my $client     = Cro::CBOR::WebSocket::Client.new(:cbor);
my $connection = await $client.connect: 'http://localhost:12345/cbor';

DESCRIPTION

Cro::CBOR is a set of extensions to Cro::HTTP and Cro::WebSocket to support using CBOR alongside JSON as a standard body serialization format.

If you're already using Cro's automatic JSON serialization, CBOR serialization works very similarly. Replace :json with :cbor, and Cro::WebSocket::Client with Cro::CBOR::WebSocket::Client, and most pieces will Just Work. And if not, please file an issue in the Cro::CBOR repository, and I'll happily take a look.
