-[__fxamacker/cbor__](https://github.com/fxamacker/cbor) is a [CBOR](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8949) codec in full compliance with [IETF RFC 8949 (STD 94)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/std94). This codec also supports [CBOR Sequences](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8742.html) (IETF RFC 8742).

-This codec is a compact, deterministic, and secure alternative to [Go's](https://golang.org) `encoding/json`, `encoding/gob`, and others.  It's fast despite avoiding use of Go's `unsafe` package.  It's very fast and memory efficient at rejecting malformed CBOR data.
+fxamacker/cbor is a deterministic, efficient, and secure alternative to [Go's](https://golang.org) `encoding/json`, `encoding/gob`, and other codecs.  It's fast despite avoiding use of Go's `unsafe` package.  It's very fast and memory efficient at rejecting malformed CBOR data.
 
 API is designed to be safe, efficient, and easy for concurrent use.  API is mostly same as `encoding/json` plus extra functions for immutable encoding and decoding modes (with custom settings) which simplify concurrent use.
 
-Features include `keyasint` and `toarray` struct tags for more compact CBOR encoding with less programming effort.
+Features include Go struct tags (`toarray`, `keyasint`, `omitempty`), which automatically make CBOR encodings more compact.
 
-Other features include: CBOR tags, duplicate map key detection, float64→32→16, and Go struct tags (`toarray`, `keyasint`, `omitempty`).  Predefined CBOR options include Core Deterministic Encoding, Preferred Serialization, CTAP2, Canonical CBOR, etc.
+Other features include: CBOR tags for extensibility, duplicate map key detection, and float64→32→16.  Preset CBOR options include Core Deterministic Encoding, Preferred Serialization, CTAP2, Canonical CBOR, etc.
 
 Install with `go get github.com/fxamacker/cbor/v2` and `import "github.com/fxamacker/cbor/v2"`.
