RAE File Format

The RAE file format is an open and flexible format to transport any kind of measurement.

It consists of three main parts:

• The "magic string" at the beginning of the file for file identification.

• The container properties (the file header)

• The actual data.

The data containers are RFC 8949 Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) encoded (https://cbor.io/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBOR).
CBOR is a compact, efficient binary serialization format, designed to be easily parsed and interoperable. It is ideal for transmitting structured data.
There are a lot of free implementations for reading/writing CBOR for every widely used programming language like C#, C++, Java, or TypeScript: https://cbor.io/impls.html
