Round trip CBOR -> JSON -> CBOR not working

[Corentin Dupont]

Hello,
I have some CBOR data. Here it is in HEX format:

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

I'm trying to do the round trip, however the resulting size is very different:
Before round-trip:

$ echo -n "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" | xxd -r -p | wc

Is there some CBOR datatype that rq doen't like??

You have a byte array in there which doesn't have a direct equivalent in JSON and ends up being converted to a list of integers. Have a look at the two binaries in cbor.me: original tripped
