Subject: [Cbor] Adding an alternative structure definition language

I don't mean to muddy the waters, and I understand the power of CDDL, but I want to offer another option that better meets my own needs for a concise and readable text-based schema language, not as a replacement for CDDL but as an alternative. Please see the attached .PDF file.

I understand that this is not as as full-featured as some schema languages, but it handles the most common validation requirements.

My tooling for it is written in Python, and currently only supports reading text source files and writing JSON and CBOR representations, but I'm working on validation code for several scenarios.

If anyone is interested, send me email... I am happy to release it to everyone under the MIT license.

Thanks,

Harold Henry
