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.
- Message Pack specification: https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md
MessagePack v7 (0.7.x) is a faster implementation of the previous version v06, and supports all of the message pack types, including extension format.
- Value API is in a designing phase: msgpack#109
For Maven users:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.msgpack</groupId>
<artifactId>msgpack-core</artifactId>
<version>0.7.0-M6</version>
</dependency>
For sbt users:
libraryDependencies += "org.msgpack" % "msgpack-core" % "0.7.0-M6"
For gradle users:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.msgpack:msgpack-core:0.7.0-M6'
}
msgpack-java supports serialization and deserialization of Java objects through jackson-databind. For details, see msgpack-jackson/README.md. The template-based serialization mechanism used in v06 is deprecated.
msgpack-java uses sbt for building the projects. For the basic usage of sbt, see:
Coding style
- msgpack-java uses the same coding style with Facebook Presto
- IntelliJ setting file
Enter the sbt console:
$ ./sbt
Here is a list of sbt commands for daily development:
> ~compile # Compile source codes
> ~test:compile # Compile both source and test codes
> ~test # Run tests upon source code change
> ~test-only *MessagePackTest # Run tests in the specified class
> ~test-only *MessagePackTest -- -n prim # Run the test tagged as "prim"
> project msgpack-core # Focus on a specific project
> package # Create a jar file in the target folder of each project
> findbugs # Produce findbugs report in target/findbugs
> jacoco:cover # Report the code coverage of tests to target/jacoco folder
> jcheckStyle # Run check style
> publishLocal # Install to local .ivy2 repository
> publishM2 # Install to local .m2 Maven repository
> publishSigned # Publish GPG signed artifacts to the Sonatype repository
> sonatypeRelease # Publish to the Maven Central (It will be synched within less than 4 hours)
For publishing to Maven central, msgpack-java uses sbt-sonatype plugin. Set Sonatype account information (user name and password) in the global sbt settings. To protect your password, never include this file in your project.
$HOME/.sbt/(sbt-version)/sonatype.sbt
credentials += Credentials("Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager",
"oss.sonatype.org",
"(Sonatype user name)",
"(Sonatype password)")
