MessagePack(msgpack) - A Compact and Fast Serialization Library
summary
MessagePack is a binary JSON-like format that claims smaller size and faster parsing; the C/C++ implementation is header-only C++ and provides pack(stream, ...) and unpack APIs that produce a variant-like msgpack::object convertible via as<T>(). The format encodes element counts and string lengths in headers so parsers need less work, handles raw binary without base64, and supports adapters for STL and boost types including boost::fusion. Implementation supports zero-copy using boost::string_ref and string_view and is used in projects like MQTT broker, Facebook messenger and Uber.
