RIOT CBOR on cbor.io

Hi *,

I just came across cbor.io and its not referencing to any C implementation, which is strange for a serialization format for embedded devices...

Can we split RIOTs CBOR code in its own repo and invite the cbor.io guys to link to us?

IMHO: Msgpack [1] on the other hand has a lot more implementations, so we should focus on promotion. Compare this repo [2].

Note: Technically our CBOR implementation should be pretty easy to use standalone, it has almost no dependencies to RIOT (despite the 'net_help.h' include, which could be easily replaced by arpa/inet.h).

And yes: I'd love to contact the cbor.io guys regarding our CBOR implementation and link to us, but unfortunately that doesn't make a lot of sense when it stays inside the RIOT code base. People cannot make use of it easily.

First time I hear about that one...
