msgpack-python is a MessagePack (de)serializer for Python.
What's MessagePack?
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.
Typical small integer (like flags or error code) is saved only in 1 byte, and typical short string only needs 1 byte except the length of the string itself.
MessagePack is a binary-based efficient data interchange format that is focused on high performance. It is like JSON, but very fast and small.
