Introduction

Fork of the notepack.io with improvements:

• Code optimizations.
• Streaming decoder.
• <Date> encoded with the standard msgpack protocol extension (breaking change).
• <BigInt> type support.

Install

npm i @softvisio/msgpack

Usage

import * as msgpack from "@softvisio/msgpack";

const buffer = msgpack.encode([new Date()]);

const data = msgpack.decode(buffer);

msgpack.encode( data )

• data <any> Data structire to encode.
• Returns: <Buffer> Encoded data.

msgpack.decode( buffer, stream? )

• buffer <Buffer> | <ArrayBuffer> | <Uint8Array> Data to decode.
• stream? <boolean> Stream mode flag.
• Returns: <any> Decoded data. In the stream mode returns <Array>:
  • <any> Decoded data.
  • <integer> Decoded data buffer length.

Class: msgpack.decode.Stream

const stream = new msgpack.decode.Stream();

stream.on("data", msg => {});

socket.on("error", e => stream.destroy());

socket.pipe(stream);

new msgpack.decode.Stream()

• Returns: <msgpack.decode.Stream> MessagePack stream decoder. Instance of the <stream.Transform>. Stream works in the object mode.
