+ +This library provides options for fast detection and rejection of duplicate map keys based on applying a Go-specific data model to CBOR's extended generic data model in order to determine duplicate vs distinct map keys. Detection relies on whether the CBOR map key would be a duplicate "key" when decoded and applied to the user-provided Go map or struct. + +`DupMapKeyQuiet` turns off detection of duplicate map keys. It tries to use a "keep fastest" method by choosing either "keep first" or "keep last" depending on the Go data type. + +`DupMapKeyEnforcedAPF` enforces detection and rejection of duplidate map keys. Decoding stops immediately and returns `DupMapKeyError` when the first duplicate key is detected. The error includes the duplicate map key and the index number. + +APF suffix means "Allow Partial Fill" so the destination map or struct can contain some decoded values at the time of error. It is the caller's responsibility to respond to the `DupMapKeyError` by discarding the partially filled result if that's required by their protocol. + +
+ +This library checks tag validity for built-in tags (currently tag numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 55799): + +* Inadmissible type for tag content +* Inadmissible value for tag content + +Unknown tag data items (not tag number 0, 1, 2, 3, or 55799) are handled in two ways: + +* When decoding into an empty interface, unknown tag data item will be decoded into `cbor.Tag` data type, which contains tag number and tag content. The tag content will be decoded into the default Go data type for the CBOR data type. +* When decoding into other Go types, unknown tag data item is decoded into the specified Go type. If Go type is registered with a tag number, the tag number can optionally be verified. + +Decoder also has an option to forbid tag data items (treat any tag data item as error) which is specified by protocols such as CTAP2 Canonical CBOR. + +For more information, see [decoding options](#decoding-options-1) and [tag options](#tag-options). + +
