Comparison to CBOR?

[rse]

I've stumbled over your VPack and see your comparisons to other serialization formats. I'm just wondering how VPack compares to CBOR (http://cbor.io/), which in the meantime is even "standardized" in RFC 7049. Can you please add some comparison hints to your README for CBOR, too? Thanks.

My take away:

• compactness of the data is not a primary goal in CBOR
• data types are comparable to VPack, but there are also a few that are not available in VPack and vice versa
• performance not mentioned as goal for JSON to CBOR to JSON conversions
• no fast subvalue access
• self-contained, schemaless, extensible like VPack

Thanks for the hint, I was not aware of CBOR so far. I will leave this issue open until I got round to look at CBOR and add comments to our README.
