+# CborReader and CborWriter enforce a default maximum nesting depth
+
+Starting in .NET 11, <xref:System.Formats.Cbor.CborReader> and <xref:System.Formats.Cbor.CborWriter> enforce a maximum nesting depth by default. Reading or writing CBOR data that exceeds the configured maximum depth throws an exception.
+
+## Version introduced
+
+.NET 11 Preview 5
+
+## Previous behavior
+
+Previously, `CborReader` and `CborWriter` had no maximum nesting depth limit. Reading or writing arbitrarily nested CBOR data structures succeeded without restriction.
+
+```csharp
+// Deeply nested CBOR data (100 levels of nested arrays)
+var reader = new CborReader(deeplyNestedBuffer);
+
+for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
+{
+    reader.ReadStartArray(); // Succeeded at any depth
+}
+```
+
+```csharp
+var writer = new CborWriter();
+
+for (int i = 0; i < 2000; i++)
+{
+    writer.WriteStartArray(1); // Succeeded at any depth
+}
+```
+
+## New behavior
+
+Starting in .NET 11, `CborReader` throws <xref:System.Formats.Cbor.CborContentException> when reading a container (array, map, or indefinite-length string) that would exceed the maximum allowed depth (default: 64). `CborWriter` throws <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> when writing a container that would exceed the maximum allowed depth (default: 1000).
+
+```csharp
+// Throws CborContentException when nesting depth exceeds 64
+var reader = new CborReader(deeplyNestedBuffer);
+
+for (int i = 0; i < 65; i++)
+{
+    reader.ReadStartArray(); // Throws CborContentException on the 65th call
+}
+```
+
+```csharp
+// Throws InvalidOperationException when nesting depth exceeds 1000
+var writer = new CborWriter();
+
+for (int i = 0; i < 1001; i++)
+{
+    writer.WriteStartArray(1); // Throws InvalidOperationException on the 1001st call
+}
+```
+
+## Type of breaking change
+
+This change is a [behavioral change](../../categories.md#behavioral-change).
+
+## Reason for change
+
+This change limits the nesting depth to prevent excessive memory consumption and execution time. When you skip over a deeply nested array or map, the system must process every element in the structure, which can use a surprising amount of memory. This change is also consistent with the behavior of <xref:System.Text.Json.Utf8JsonReader> and <xref:System.Text.Json.Utf8JsonWriter>.
+
+## Recommended action
+
+If your application processes CBOR data nested more deeply than the defaults allow (64 levels for reading, 1000 levels for writing), use the new options types to specify a larger limit:
+
+```csharp
+// For reading CBOR data nested more than 64 levels deep
+var options = new CborReaderOptions { MaxDepth = 256 };
+var reader = new CborReader(data, options);
+```
+
+```csharp
+// For writing CBOR data nested more than 1000 levels deep
+var writerOptions = new CborWriterOptions { MaxDepth = 2000 };
+var writer = new CborWriter(writerOptions);
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Unlike `Utf8JsonReader`/`Utf8JsonWriter`, setting `MaxDepth = 0` in CBOR means *no nesting is allowed* (not "use the runtime default"). To use the runtime default, set `MaxDepth = -1` or omit the property when constructing `CborReaderOptions`/`CborWriterOptions`.
+
+There is no AppContext switch to restore the previous unlimited-depth behavior.

+### Non-nullable value types
+
+The binder now also binds `null` to non-nullable value-type properties (for example, `int`, `bool`, or an enum) by setting them to the type's default value (`default(T)`).
+
+Previously, with the JSON configuration provider, binding a `null` to such a property threw an `InvalidOperationException` similar to the following, because the provider had converted the `null` into an empty string and an empty string can't be converted to the target value type:
+
+```output
+Failed to convert configuration value at 'SomeSection:DayOfWeekProperty' to type 'System.DayOfWeek'.
+```
+
+Starting in .NET 10, the same binding succeeds and the property is set to its default value. For example, a `null` bound to a `DayOfWeek` property results in `DayOfWeek.Sunday` (`0`), and a `null` bound to an `int` property results in `0`. No exception is thrown.
+
+Providers that store a real `null` value, such as the in-memory provider, already bound `null` to non-nullable value-type properties by setting the default value, even before .NET 10, and the configuration source generator also matches this behavior. The change makes the JSON provider and the reflection-based binder consistent with that behavior.

 ## Type of breaking change

@@ -112,6 +126,7 @@ If you prefer the previous behavior, you can adjust your configuration according
 
 - When using the JSON configuration provider, replace `null` values with empty strings (`""`) to restore the original behavior, where empty strings are bound instead of `null`.
 - For other providers that support `null` values, remove the `null` entries from the configuration to replicate the earlier behavior, where missing values are ignored and existing property values remain unchanged.
+- If you previously relied on an exception when a `null` value was bound to a non-nullable value-type property, note that the binder now sets the property to its default value instead. To distinguish a missing or `null` value from a real value, make the property nullable (for example, `int?` or `DayOfWeek?`) and check for `null` after binding, or validate the configuration explicitly.
