msgpack seems to be an extremely fast, if extremely new format for data serialisation. Does it have a recognised MIME type yet? If not, what should be used in the interim?
Message Pack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON but it's faster and smaller.
Decoding operations usually are slower for both formats, but MessagePack wins here again. When performing a single decode operation, MessagePack is faster by 1 ms. While 100 decode operations execute 62 ms faster with MessagePack instead of json.
MessagePack is a fast and compact binary serialization format. It's useful when performance and bandwidth are a concern because it creates smaller messages compared to JSON.
MessagePack is a fast, compact binary serialization format, suitable for similar data to JSON. This package provides CPython bindings for reading and writing MessagePack data.
From Wikipedia : According to RFC 6838 (published in January 2013 : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838), any use of types in the "x." tree is strongly discouraged. Media types with names beginning with "x-" are no longer considered to be members of this tree since January 2013.
