MessagePack for Zig

This is an implementation of MessagePack for Zig.

an article introducing it: Zig Msgpack

Features

• Supports all MessagePack types(except timestamp)
• Efficient encoding and decoding
• Simple and easy-to-use API

NOTE

The current protocol implementation has been completed, but it has not been fully tested. Only limited unit testing has been conducted, which does not cover everything.

Getting Started

0.11

1. Add to build.zig.zon

.@"zig-msgpack" = .{
        // It is recommended to replace the following branch with commit id
        .url = "https://github.com/zigcc/zig-msgpack/archive/{commit or branch}.tar.gz",
        .hash = <hash value>,
    },

2. Config build.zig

const msgpack = b.dependency("zig-msgpack", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});

// add module
exe.addModule("msgpack", msgpack.module("msgpack"));

0.12 \ 0.13 \ nightly

1. Add to build.zig.zon

zig fetch --save https://github.com/zigcc/zig-msgpack/archive/{commit or branch}.tar.gz
# Of course, you can also use git+https to fetch this package!

2. Config build.zig

// To standardize development, maybe you should use `lazyDependency()` instead of `dependency()`
const msgpack = b.dependency("zig-msgpack", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});

// add module
exe.root_module.addImport("msgpack", msgpack.module("msgpack"));
