## README

# SisuJs Meta-Cbot

CBOT (Character Based Object Transport) protocol is a character-based data transfer protocol designed to replace JSON in web development. Its primary goal is to provide a more robust and richer model for transporting structured data between server and browser.

This protocol is not intended to compete with or replace any binary protocols used in server-to-server communications, but rather to create a better alternative. Therefore, the design goals are always aligned with the JavaScript environment in browsers, even when implemented on other platforms.

This package contains two interlinked components:

  - **Cbot** (Character Based Object Transport): A type validating protocol
    designed for web data transport, intended to replace JSON for server-browser
    communication.
  - **Meta -model**: A framework for creating reflective types in
    JavaScript/TypeScript, enhancing type enforcement and data integrity.
