It's like JSON, but fast and small…and Swift! – msgpack.org[Swift]

MessagePack

MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. But it's faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.

Usage

import MessagePack

let packed = pack(.UInt(42))
//packed is [0x2a]
let unpacked = try? unpack([0x2a])
//unpacked is 42

let packed = pack([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]) 
//packed is [0x95, 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04]

...

//you can find more examples in Tests folder
