c2pa_codec 0.1.0-dev.1

Deterministic CBOR, COSE structures, ISO boxes, and JUMBF for C2PA.

c2pa_codec

Deterministic CBOR, COSE structures, ISO boxes, JUMBF, and bounded Brotli decoding for the Dart C2PA implementation.

Platforms

The public library supports the Dart VM, Flutter, and web. It uses c2pa_io for bounded byte access and has no native runtime dependency.

import 'package:c2pa_codec/c2pa_codec.dart';

final encoded = encodeCbor({'answer': 42});
final decoded = decodeCbor(encoded);

See example/c2pa_codec.dart.

Security and defaults

Decoders reject trailing data and malformed sizes, enforce configurable nesting and expansion limits, and do not access the network. Strict CBOR decoding requires canonical map order by default; callers parsing compatible legacy data must opt into relaxed options explicitly.

Package relationships

c2pa_codec depends on c2pa_io. It supplies encoding and container primitives to c2pa_crypto, c2pa_formats, and the high-level c2pa SDK.

Compatibility and limitations

The compatibility target is c2pa-rs c2pa-v0.90.22. The Brotli implementation decodes bounded compressed manifest data but does not encode Brotli streams, so compressed-manifest generation parity is not claimed. Format-level parity belongs to c2pa_formats and is partial for a number of containers.
