@ -88,29 +88,29 @@ Binary values are serialized differently according to the formats.
JSON does not have a binary type, and this library does not introduce a new type as this would break conformance. Instead, binary values are serialized as an object with two keys: `bytes` holds an array of integers, and `subtype` is an integer or `null`.

Code:
```cpp
// create a binary value of subtype 42
json j;
j["binary"] = json::binary({0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE}, 42);
// serialize to standard output
std::cout << j.dump(2) << std::endl;

[BSON](binary_formats/bson.md) supports binary values and subtypes. If a subtype is given, it is used and added as unsigned 8-bit integer. If no subtype is given, the generic binary subtype 0x00 is used.
!!! example
??? example
Code:
```cpp
// create a binary value of subtype 42
json j;
j["binary"] = json::binary({0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE}, 42);

// convert to BSON
auto v = json::to_bson(j);
```
`v` is a `std::vector<std::uint8t>` with the following 22 elements:
```c
0x16 0x00 0x00 0x00 // number of bytes in the document
0x05 // binary value
0x62 0x69 0x6E 0x61 0x72 0x79 0x00 // key "binary" + null byte
0x04 0x00 0x00 0x00 // number of bytes
0x2a // subtype
0xCA 0xFE 0xBA 0xBE // content
0x00 // end of the document
```

// create a binary value of subtype 42
json j;

### CBOR
[CBOR](binary_formats/cbor.md) supports binary values, but no subtypes. Any binary value will be serialized as byte strings. The library will choose the smallest representation using the length of the byte array.
!!! example

Code:
```cpp
// create a binary value of subtype 42 (will be ignored by CBOR)
json j;
j["binary"] = json::binary({0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE}, 42);
Code:
// convert to CBOR
auto v = json::to_cbor(j);
```
`v` is a `std::vector<std::uint8t>` with the following 13 elements:
```c
0xA1 // map(1)
0x66 // text(6)
0x62 0x69 0x6E 0x61 0x72 0x79 // "binary"
0x44 // bytes(4)
0xCA 0xFE 0xBA 0xBE // content
```
```cpp
// create a binary value of subtype 42 (will be ignored by CBOR)
json j;
j["binary"] = json::binary({0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE}, 42);
Note the subtype (42) is **not** serialized, and deserializing `v` would yield the following value:
// convert to CBOR
auto v = json::to_cbor(j);
```

### UBJSON
[UBJSON](binary_formats/ubjson.md) neither supports binary values nor subtypes, and proposes to serialize binary values as array of uint8 values. This translation is implemented by the library.
!!! example
??? example
Code:
```cpp
// create a binary value of subtype 42 (will be ignored in UBJSON)
json j;
j["binary"] = json::binary({0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE}, 42);
Code:
// convert to UBJSON
auto v = json::to_msgpack(j);
```
`v` is a `std::vector<std::uint8t>` with the following 20 elements:
```c
0x7B // '{'
0x69 0x06 // i 6 (length of the key)
0x62 0x69 0x6E 0x61 0x72 0x79 // "binary"
0x5B // '['
0x55 0xCA 0x55 0xFE 0x55 0xBA 0x55 0xBE // content (each byte prefixed with 'U')
0x5D // ']'
0x7D // '}'
```
```cpp
// create a binary value of subtype 42 (will be ignored in UBJSON)
json j;
j["binary"] = json::binary({0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE}, 42);
The following code uses the type and size optimization for UBJSON:
// convert to UBJSON
auto v = json::to_msgpack(j);
```
`v` is a `std::vector<std::uint8t>` with the following 20 elements:
```c
0x7B // '{'
0x69 0x06 // i 6 (length of the key)
0x62 0x69 0x6E 0x61 0x72 0x79 // "binary"
0x5B // '['
0x55 0xCA 0x55 0xFE 0x55 0xBA 0x55 0xBE // content (each byte prefixed with 'U')
0x5D // ']'
0x7D // '}'
```
```cpp
// convert to UBJSON using the size and type optimization
auto v = json::to_ubjson(j, true, true);
```
The following code uses the type and size optimization for UBJSON:
The resulting vector has 23 elements; the optimization is not effective for examples with few values:
```cpp
// convert to UBJSON using the size and type optimization
auto v = json::to_ubjson(j, true, true);
```
```c
0x7B // '{'
0x24 // '$' type of the object elements
0x5B // '[' array
0x23 0x69 0x01 // '#' i 1 number of object elements
0x69 0x06 // i 6 (length of the key)
0x62 0x69 0x6E 0x61 0x72 0x79 // "binary"
0x24 0x55 // '$' 'U' type of the array elements: unsinged integers
0x23 0x69 0x04 // '#' i 4 number of array elements
0xCA 0xFE 0xBA 0xBE // content
```
The resulting vector has 23 elements; the optimization is not effective for examples with few values:
Note that subtype (42) is **not** serialized and that UBJSON has **no binary type**, and deserializing `v` would yield the following value:
```c
0x7B // '{'
0x24 // '$' type of the object elements
0x5B // '[' array
0x23 0x69 0x01 // '#' i 1 number of object elements
0x69 0x06 // i 6 (length of the key)
0x62 0x69 0x6E 0x61 0x72 0x79 // "binary"
0x24 0x55 // '$' 'U' type of the array elements: unsinged integers
0x23 0x69 0x04 // '#' i 4 number of array elements
0xCA 0xFE 0xBA 0xBE // content
