Cbor <> CborWeb issue

[astanciu]

I'm sing cbor-web and another library (cose-js) which uses cbor, and notice some issues packing between the two. I've narrowed down the issue to this:

  const cbor = require("cbor");
  const cborWeb = require("cbor-web");

  const data = cborWeb.encode('hello')    // Uint8Array
  const encoded = cbor.encode(data)       // Buffer
  const decoded = cbor.decode(encoded)    // ByteObject -> {0: 101, 1:104, etc...}

  // which causes this to fail
  const dataDecoded = cborWeb.decode(decoded)  

Not sure what's going on here, is this something I can address on my side in some way?

It's likely different values for the preferWeb setting. true gets you Uint8Array. false gets you Buffer. ByteObject is likely some weird webpack'd version of Buffer.
