CBOR relates to similar data objects like JSON in a name/value pair format, but expressed in a binary and compact way, also with much more support with key-value types. A size of a file in CBOR format may be smaller than a corresponding file in JSON format. In some cases, the CBOR file may be more than 50% smaller than the corresponding JSON file.

• processes 900A, 900B, and 900C may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIGS. 9A-9C. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of processes of processes 900A, 900B, and 900C may be performed in parallel. In embodiments, any one or more blocks of processes 900A, 900B, and 900C may be combined with any other one or more blocks of processes 900A, 900B, and 900C in any order, and any one or more of any blocks of processes 900A, 900B, and 900C may be split or combined as desired.
• the one or more processors execute a program that is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium to perform one or more of the proposed methods.
