MessagePack for Ruby
MessagePack for Ruby is a library that enables efficient data serialization and deserialization. It transforms complex Ruby data structures (like hashes and arrays) into a compact binary format for fast transmission or storage, and then back again. This process is more space and time-efficient than traditional formats like JSON. It’s commonly used for improving performance in applications that communicate over networks or handle large data sets, making data transfer quicker and reducing bandwidth usage without losing information or structure.
