CBOR allows map keys of any type, whereas JSON only allows strings as keys in object values. Therefore, CBOR maps with keys other than UTF-8 strings are rejected.
CBOR allows map keys of any type, whereas JSON only allows strings as keys in object values. Therefore, CBOR maps
with keys other than text strings (major type 3) are rejected with a
[`parse_error.113`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error113) exception (or, with `allow_exceptions` set
to `false`, a discarded value) naming the type of the key that was found, for instance:
```
[json.exception.parse_error.113] parse error at byte 2: syntax error while parsing CBOR object key: only string keys are supported, but found an unsigned integer; last byte: 0x01
```
This applies to the [SAX interface](../parsing/sax_interface.md) as well, as the key is read before it is passed
on. This is a deliberate restriction of the library's JSON value model, not an oversight: formats built on CBOR
maps with integer keys, such as COSE ([RFC 9052](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9052.html)) or CWT
([RFC 8392](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8392.html)), cannot be read with this library and need a
general-purpose CBOR library instead.

Any MessagePack output created by `to_msgpack` can be successfully parsed by `from_msgpack`.
!!! warning "Object keys"
MessagePack allows map keys of any type, whereas JSON only allows strings as keys in object values. Like the
JSON-compatible [profile](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#profile) sketched in the
MessagePack specification, this library restricts map keys to `str` values. Maps with keys of any other type are
rejected with a [`parse_error.113`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error113) exception (or, with
`allow_exceptions` set to `false`, a discarded value) naming the type of the key that was found, for instance:
```

```
This applies to the [SAX interface](../parsing/sax_interface.md) as well, as the key is read before it is passed
on. Such input needs a general-purpose MessagePack library instead.
!!! warning "UTF-8 validation of string values"
The MessagePack specification requires `str` values (`fixstr`, `str 8`, `str 16`, `str 32`) to be valid UTF-8.

CBOR and MessagePack allow map keys of any type, but JSON object keys are always strings. Maps with keys of any other
type (for instance integers or `null`) are therefore not supported; see the notes on
