COBS (Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing)

The COBS component provides efficient encoding and decoding for the Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing algorithm, a packet framing protocol that ensures reliable packet boundaries in communication streams.

Key features: * Zero-byte elimination with consistent overhead (max ⌈n/254⌉ + 1 bytes) * Single packet API for basic encoding/decoding * Streaming API with thread-safe encoder/decoder classes * Support for fragmented data streams and packet batching

The component is designed for embedded communication protocols where reliable packet framing is essential, such as UART, SPI, or other serial interfaces.
