Integer: Types 0 (positive) and 1 (negative). Argument values 0-23 encode integers directly. Argument values 24-27 indicate integers in the next 1, 2, 4, 8 bytes big endian.
String: Types 2 (binary) and 3 (UTF-8). Argument value encoded as integer gives string length.
Array: Type 4. Argument value encoded as integer gives array length. Individual elements encoded with own headers.
Map: Type 5. Argument value encoded as integer gives map length. Individual key value pairs encoded with own headers.
Tag: Type 6. Tag value encoded as integer gives special meaning to next item. This includes date and time, big number binary strings, URL, special arrays and more.
Simple or Float: Type 7. Argument value indicate simple item or one of IEEE 754 formats. Simple items include booleans, null, NA and indefinite sequence stop mark.
