Simplified, easy to use, pure Rust [MessagePack][msgpack] implementation focused on handling dynamic data structures. [Documentation][docs] Example usage: ```rust use msgpack_simple::{MsgPack, MapElement, Extension}; let message = MsgPack::Map(vec![ MapElement { key: MsgPack::String(String::from("hello")), value: MsgPack::Int(42) }, MapElement { key: MsgPack::String(String::from("world")), value: MsgPack::Array(vec![ MsgPack::Boolean(true), MsgPack::Nil, MsgPack::Binary(vec![0x42, 0xff]), MsgPack::Extension(Extension { type_id: 2, value: vec![0x32, 0x4a, 0x67, 0x11] }) ]) } ]); let encoded = message.encode(); // encoded is a Vec let decoded = MsgPack::parse(&encoded).unwrap(); println!("{}", decoded); assert_eq!(message, decoded); assert!(message.is_map()); let mut map = message.as_map().unwrap(); // map is a Vec let second_element = map.remove(1); assert!(second_element.key.is_string()); assert_eq!(second_element.key.as_string().unwrap(), "world".to_string()); assert!(second_element.value.is_array()); let mut array = second_element.value.as_array().unwrap(); // array is a Vec let nil = array.remove(1); assert!(nil.is_nil()); ``` This library abstracts MessagePack data into a single [MsgPack enum][msgpack-enum] which can correspond to any encodable data type and handle nested data structures dynamically. It's not as performant as static solutions, for that, [mneumann's rust-msgpack][rust-msgpack] and [3Hren's RMP][rmp] crates are recommended, but it is able to parse messages without full prior knowledge of their structure.
