With the anticipated arrival of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) requiring massive amounts of binary data, CBOR seems like a better choice than JSON.  I will base my Open Source Open Banking PoC on CBOR: https://cyberphone.github.io/doc/research/revised-open-banking-architecture.pdf

The only exception will be an OIDC interface from the Bank which is needed for enrolling payment credentials.

By building on the CBOR Deterministic Encoding (CDE) standard in the workings (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cbor-cde/), you can sign serialized CBOR "as is" like in: https://test.webpki.org/csf-lab

With the CBOR text-mode (Diagnostic Notation), a moderately updated version of "Postman" can be used to test APIs in the same way as with JSON.
