github.com/ybkimm/msgpack

Another MessagePack encoding/decoding library.

This library doesn't use reflection, instead it relies on small interface: Map, Array, and Extension.

Heavily inspired by GoJay.

Features

Encoding primitive types, arrays, maps, and time.Time.
No reflection.
Extension interface for custom types.
JSON conversion: FromJSON, ToJSON.
- NotOptimizedYet™ - json-related functions are slow at this time.

Get Started

go get -u github.com/ybkimm/msgpack
