MessagePack Erlang

prequisites for runtime

Erlang runtime system , >= R15B -- otherwise rebar won't work. Based on the new msgpack spec 232a0d .

Now this supports string type.

1> {ok, "埼玉"} = msgpack:unpack(msgpack:pack("埼玉")).
{ok,[22524,29577]}

There are several options for msgpack:pack/2 and msgpack:unpack/2 . See msgpack_list_options() in msgpack.hrl.

rebar.config

{deps, [
  {msgpack, ".*",
    {git, "git://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-erlang.git", "master"}}
]}.

Simple deserialization

Ham = msgpack:pack(Spam),
{ok, Spam} = msgpack:unpack(Ham).

Stream deserialization

{Term0, Rest0} = msgpack:unpack_stream(Binary),
{Term1, Rest1} = msgpack:unpack_stream(Rest0),
...

Compatibility mode

To use as same with old spec

OldHam = msgpack:pack(Spam, [{enable_str,false}]),
{ok, Spam} = msgpack:unpack(OldHam, [{enable_str,false}]).

Since 0.2.3 now it's false by default.

experimental feature: NIF (de)serializer

Currently NIF is unavailable on both new and old spec.
