Why yet another JSON package in Rust ?

This crate makes several trade-offs that are tuned for big-data and document database.

• Concise Binary Object Representation, also called CBOR, RFC-7049link.

• Machine friendly, designed for IoT, inter-networking of light weight devices, and easy to implement in many languages.

• Can be used for more than data exchange, left to user imagination :) ...

• Serialization from Rust native type to CBOR binary.

• De-serialization from CBOR binary to Rust native type.

• Streaming CBOR parser.

• Sorted keys in property object.
