Msgpax
Msgpax is a high-performance and comprehensive library for serializing and deserializing Elixir terms using the MessagePack format.
Documentation is available online.
Features
- Packing and unpacking Elixir terms via
Msgpax.pack/1
andMsgpax.unpack/1
(and their bang! variants). - Unpacking of partial slices of MessagePack-encoded terms via
Msgpax.unpack_slice/1
. - Support for "Binary" and "Extension" MessagePack types via
Msgpax.Bin
andMsgpax.Ext
, respectively. - Protocol-based packing through the
Msgpax.Packer
protocol, that can be derived for user-defined structs. - A Plug parser (
Msgpax.PlugParser
) to parse requests with MessagePack-encoded bodies. - Support for MessagePack data fragment manipulation.
A detailed table that shows the relationship between Elixir types and MessagePack types can be found in the documentation for the Msgpax
module.
