To some extent. However, my point is even without a data model that
provides an index, you can still enable random access in a CBOR blob.
Obviously, you need to know what data has been encoded, but then you can
(if you want) generate an index for the data you are interested in. CBOR
itself (ignoring WebPack, etc) doesn't seem like a poor choice for
"off-the-web" use, though it does require a little more processing than a
pre-indexed format would.
