Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack. This document obsoletes RFC 7049, providing editorial improvements, new details, and errata fixes while keeping full compatibility with the interchange format of RFC 7049. It does not create a new version of the format.
How to Read an RFC
Requests for Comments (RFCs) are how we specify many protocols on the Internet. These documents are alternatively treated as holy texts by developers who parse them for hidden meanings, then shunned as irrelevant because they can’t be understood. This often leads to frustration and – more significantly – interoperability and security issues. However, with some insight into how they’re constructed and published, it’s a bit easier to understand what you’re looking at.

Refining Rust's RFCs · Aaron Turon
At the heart of Rust’s open development is the RFC process. Every major change to the language, compiler, core libraries, tooling, and policy go through an RFC writeup and consensus-building process. The process served us incredibly well in clarifying our technical direction on the road to 1.0, and has continued to be highly active since then, with on average about 2 RFCs merged every week.
DASL: DRISL — Deterministic Representation for Interoperable Structures & Links
DRISL is a serialization format that is deterministic (so that the same data will have the same CID) and that features native support for using CIDs as links. It is based on CBOR, using a narrow profile of CBOR's "Core" featureset called "[[cborc-42]]", specified formally in this IETF document.
Taking AT to the IETF - AT Protocol
We recently posted two drafts to the IETF Data Tracker. This is the first major step towards standardizing parts of AT in an effort to establish long-term governance for the protocol.

Kaitai Struct is a formal language for binary format specification that can be compiled into parser code
We need to talk about RFCs
I think the Rust RFC process needs serious reform. In this blog post, I'll explain why I think that, by covering some of the problems with the current process. Before I get all negative, I think RFCs are amazing! They've been a crucial part of Rust's open design and community-focussed

CBOR is specified in an Internet Standard RFC. RFCs that serve as Internet Standards are generated by the IETF based on an extensive technical review and quality control process. These are meant to last.
