Types Supported Out-of-the-Box

borer comes with built-in encoding and decoding support for arbitrary combinations of the following types:

• Boolean, Char, Byte, Short Int, Long, Float, Double and their boxed counterparts
• Null
• String
• Array[Byte]
• java.math.BigInteger, java.math.BigDecimal and their scala wrappers BigInt and BigDecimal
• Option[T]
• Array[T]
• M[T] <: Iterable[T]
• M[A, B] <: Map[A, B]
• Iterator[T] (encoding only!)
• Either[A, B] (with import io.bullet.borer.Codec.ForEither.default)
• T <: Tuple
• T <: scala.reflect.Enum

All these type are encoded to exactly one CBOR or JSON data item (which may of course be an array or map consisting of other, nested data items.)
