Msgpack (MessagePack)
MessagePack (Msgpack) is a compact, efficient data serialization format that converts complex data structures—like objects or arrays—into a smaller binary form for quick storage or transmission. Think of it as a more efficient way to package information so computers can send and receive data faster and with less space. It is language-agnostic, meaning it can be used across different programming languages, making it ideal for performance-critical applications such as web services, databases, and network communications. Overall, Msgpack helps optimize data handling by reducing size without losing data fidelity.
