About:
MsgpackCxx is an efficient binary serialization format designed for high-performance data exchange. It converts complex C++ objects into compact byte streams for fast transmission or storage. This library provides a drop-in replacement for JSON that significantly improves serialization speed and reduces bandwidth usage.
Key Features:
  • Header-only library for easy integration
  • Zero-copy map access for performance
  • Standard container compatibility (STL)
  • Dynamic and static typing modes
Use Cases:
  • High-performance RPC and microservices communication
  • Persistent storage of complex C++ data structures
  • Real-time data streaming in low-latency applications
Alternatives:
  • protobuf – Protocol Buffers require schema definition but offer stricter type safety
  • cereal – Cereal is header-only but focuses on serialization rather than network transport
