Some sort of JSON-but-binary format getting built into browser APIs would be great.

They might get some more uptake if they had some examples or a more concise explanation than just linking to the RFC (aside from the tutorial in French).

Yeah. Some basic tables showing how a json object would be encoded in CBOR would go a long way.

RFCs make for dry reading.

I think it's hard to provide examples of a binary format beyond a few benchmarks.

Compare to MessagePack's example from their front page:

It answers 90% of my questions in a quick example.
