+Widely used CBOR codecs are available in various programming languages.  CCF codecs can reuse existing CBOR codecs to reduce risks.
 
 In JavaScript, there are multiple widely used CBOR codecs. As one example, [hildjj/node-cbor](https://github.com/hildjj/node-cbor) is  maintained by Joe Hildebrand (former VP of Engineering at Mozilla and Distinguished Engineer at Cisco). It's a monorepo with several packages including a "cbor package compiled for use on the web, including all of its non-optional dependencies".
