# client side code:
import {encode, decode} from "cbor-js"
const data = {1: 1, 2: 2, 3: :3}
const encoding = encode(data)
after sending the encoded data into the server (python) and decoding it I am receiving:
data = {"1": 1, "2": 2, "3": 3}
instead of :
data = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3}
my solution was to modify the cbor-js lib so it'll also handle a Map type
encodeItem function:
else if (value instanceof Map){
var keys = Array.from(value.keys());
length = keys.length;
writeTypeAndLength(5, length);
for (i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
var key = keys[i];
encodeItem(key);
encodeItem(value.get(key));
}
}
decodeItem addition:
case 5:
function isStringType(val) {
return typeof val === "string"
}
var retObject = new Map();
for (i = 0; i < length || length < 0 && !readBreak(); ++i) {
var key = decodeItem();
retObject.set(key, decodeItem())
}
const allKeysAreStrings = Array.from(retObject.keys()).every(isStringType)
if (allKeysAreStrings){
retObject = Object.fromEntries(retObject)
}
return retObject;
