 This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)

+(`RFC 8949`_) serialization format. The specification is fully compatible with the original RFC 7049.
+`Read the docs <https://cbor2.readthedocs.io/>`_ to learn more.
 
 It is implemented in pure python with an optional C backend.
 
 On PyPy, cbor2 runs with almost identical performance to the C backend.

@@ -27,6 +31,7 @@ Features
 * Support many `CBOR tags`_ with `stdlib objects`_.
 * Generic tag decoding.
 * `Shared value`_ references including cyclic references.
+* `String references`_ compact encoding with repeated strings replaced with indices.
 * Optional C module backend tested on big- and little-endian architectures.
 * Extensible `tagged value handling`_ using ``tag_hook`` and ``object_hook`` on decode and ``default`` on encode.
 * Command-line diagnostic tool, converting CBOR file or stream to JSON ``python -m cbor2.tool``
