MessagePack support

#JSON #Caché

MessagePack is a binary-based efficient object serialization library. It enables to exchange structured objects between many languages like JSON. But unlike JSON, it is very fast and small.

Any chance of adding support for MessagePack?

Not in the near-term. We are using a highly optimized in-memory and on-disk structure for our JSON support and the document data model. Providing more features and adding more optimizations to this structure stays a priority.

Our model allows us to support other serialization formats as well and we have some hooks in place we plan to leverage in the future. MessagePack and other serializations are on the tentative list for this, but nothing is carved in stone at the moment.

Do you have a specific use case where MessagePack is a requirement?

Glad you've mentioned it.

We have a plenty of open-source projects on several our GitHub hubs (the central one - intersystems, the russian one, and spanish one). But, unfortunately, nobody yet created msgpack implementation for Caché or Ensemble.

If you want to implement such component then we will republish it via those hubs with pleasure. :)

P.S.

Looks like it's easy to implement something similar to Python-library, especially having current native JSON support in 2016.x
