    \title Parsing and displaying CBOR data

    \brief A demonstration of how to parse files in CBOR format.

    This example shows how to use the QCborStreamReader class directly to parse
    CBOR content. The \c cbordump program reads content in CBOR format from
    files or standard input and dumps the decoded content to stdout in a
    human-readable format. It can output in CBOR diagnostic notation (which is
    similar to JSON), or it can produce a verbose output where each byte input
    is displayed with its encoding beside it.

    \section1 The CborDumper Class

    The CborDumper class contains a QCborStreamReader object that is initialized
    using the QFile object argument passed to the CborDumper constructor. Based
    on the arguments the dump function calls either dumpOne() or
    dumpOneDetailed() to dump the contents to standard output,

    \section2 The dumpOne() Function

    Switching on QCborStreamReader::type() enables printing appropriate to the
    type of the current value in the stream. If the type is an array or map, the
    value's content is iterated over, and for each entry the dumpOne() function
    is called recursively with a higher indentation argument. If the type is a
    tag, it is printed out and dumpOne() is called once without increasing the
    indentation argument.

    \section2 The dumpOneDetailed() Function

    This function dumps out both the incoming bytes and the decoded contents
    on the same line. It uses lambda functions to print out the bytes and
    decoded content, but otherwise has a similar structure as dumpOne().

    \section1 CborTagDescription

    The \c tagDescriptions table, describing the CBOR tags available, is
    automatically generated from an XML file available from the iana.org
    website. When \c dumpOneDetailed() reports a tag, it uses its description
    from this table.
