There was a problem hiding this comment.
this is fine but the encode could be made quite a bit quicker, see https://github.com/rvagg/cborg/blob/94b4c14137b67ad15e6c864009775408e28a31a9/lib/byte-utils.js#L295-L320 for dealing with exactly this, decoding via String.fromCharCode.apply(null, b) in chunks.
