msgpack for C/C++

It's like JSON but smaller and faster.

Overview

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