Taler CBOR APIs
Resource-friendly Taler APIs with Concise Binary Object Representation
This project aims to complement the JSON data format used in the Taler RESTful APIs with support for CBOR, a binary data format which is inherently more resource-efficient than JSON, while being able to express JSONs full data model. By improving resource efficiency, Taler can broaden its range of application scenarios and enhance sustainability in the future. The project will include interoperability tests and an extensive evaluation to assess a multi-data format, backwards-compatible API design. Based on these insights, it will be easier to design similar components for other applications in or even outside the Taler ecosystem.
