 PRODUCT BACKLOG
As a customer I want to convert
JSON objects to CBOR because it
can support systems with limited
requirements.
Refine

JSON objects consisting of String key-

value pairs.
JSON objects containing numbers.
JSON objects containing Arrays.
JSON objects containing Objects.
 PRODUCT BACKLOG

As a customer I want to be able to

select a text file with JSON data and
get resultant CBOR conversion
because I have legacy dataset in JSON
format.
As a customer I want the CBOR
resultant conversion saved into a file
because systems I usually work with
read CBOR from files.

Task 1: String Conversion Function

Main task: Create a function which

takes as parameters the key and value
from the map and convert the content
to CBOR equivalent.
{
name : John,
nickname : Johny
}
 STRING CONVERSION
FUNCTION
Overview: The function converts the
JSON consisting of string values (major
data 3) to CBOR

Parameters: key, value string pairs -the

components of the dictionary {
name : John,
Returns: None nickname : Johny
}
 STRING CONVERSION
FUNCTION
If there is a string in the JSON File, then
the StringToCbor function is called.

Mechanism: The function constructs the

header, which is a string by default, and
then constructs the value according to {
CBOR standard.
name : John,
nickname : Johny
}
 SPRINT 11
Task 11: Encode integers

Main task:
Create code for unsigned integers
Learn the rules to encode Mayor type
0
Write the code to encode the
positive integers {
Age : 20,
Create code for negative integers Grade : -10
Learn the rules to encode Mayor type
1
}
Write the code to encode the
negative integers
 ENCODE INTEGERS

Overview: The function converts the

JSON consisting of integer values (positive
(major type 0) or negative (major type 1))
to CBOR

Parameters: key, value pairs -the

components of the dictionary
{
Age : 20,
Grade : -10
Returns: None
}
 ENCODE INTEGERS
If there is a string in the JSON File, then the
IntToCbor function is called.

Mechanism: The function constructs the key

header, which is a string by default, and then
constructs the value according to CBOR
standard.
if the value is bigger than 23, the function {
outputs extra information to represent
the integer in hexadecimal. Age : 20,
If the integer is negative, the value of the Grade : -10
header will change and the number will }
be represented as the absolute value of
the input -1
 SPRINT 11
Task 11: Floating Point Conversion

Main task: Write a function that can

convert floating point numbers and
simple values to binary representation.

{
Num1 : 20.5,
Num2 : 10.32
}
FLOATING POINT
CONVERSION
 FLOATING POINT
CONVERSION
Overview: Two functions, One takes care
of the IEEE standard, and one that handles
the simple value with no content.

Parameters: key, value pairs -the

components of the dictionary
{
Num1 : 20.5,
Returns: None Num2 : 10.32
}
 FLOATING POINT
CONVERSION
For simple values with no content it
checks if its Boolean, or simple floating
numbers. And then sets the header
value to a binary representation.

The other function finds a

representation for floating point
numbers according to the IEEE 754 {
standard, with Half-Precision, Single Age : 20,
Precision, and Double Precision Float.
( 16-, 32-, 64 bits) Grade : -10
}
 FLOATING POINT
CONVERSION
Problems:

CBOR does not convert the floating

numbers according to the IEEE 754
standard.
It took more time than expected
because we also had to read through
and understand how the IEEE 754
standard is working. {
We got some code working but the
Age : 20,
function is not completed. Grade : -10
}
 RETROSPECTIVE
ArrayToCBOR function
Problem:
For every value in the array, the function should call the existing string, int,
and float functions, but these take 2 parameters (keys and values) from
the dictionary whereas they are expected to be called with just one value.
Solution:
Refactor the string, int, float functions such that they will take only one
parameter based on the value type, but not on the key.
