Stand-in Tags for YANG-CBOR
YANG (RFC 7950) is a data modeling language used to model
configuration data, state data, parameters and results of Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) operations or actions, and notifications.
YANG-CBOR (RFC 9254) defines encoding rules for YANG in the Concise
Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 8949). While the overall
structure of YANG-CBOR is encoded in an efficient, binary format,
YANG itself has its roots in XML and therefore traditionally encodes
some information such as date/times and IP addresses/prefixes in a
verbose text form.
This document defines how to use existing CBOR tags for this kind of
information in YANG-CBOR as a "stand-in" for the text-based
information that would be found in the original form of YANG-CBOR.
