## Public predicates

### `parse/2`

Parses a list of bytes in the CBOR format returning the corresponding term representation. Throws an error when parsing is not possible (usually due to an invalid byte sequence).

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`parse(Bytes,Term)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`parse(@list(byte),-ground)` - `one_or_error`

### `generate/2`

Generates a list of bytes in the CBOR format representing the given term. Throws an error when generating is not possible (usually due to a term that have no CBOR corresponding representation).

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`generate(Term,Bytes)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`generate(@ground,-list(byte))` - `one_or_error`

## Protected predicates
