A MessagePack implementation for Matlab and Octave
The code is written in pure Matlab, and has no dependencies beyond Matlab itself. And it works in recent versions of Octave, too.
The files in this repository are taken from Transplant.
Basic Usage:
data = {'life, the universe, and everything', struct('the_answer', 42)};
bytes = dumpmsgpack(data)
data = parsemsgpack(bytes)
% returns: {'life, the universe, and everything', containers.Map('the_answer', 42)}Converting Matlab to MsgPack:
| Matlab | MsgPack |
|---|---|
| string | string |
| scalar | number |
| logical | true/false |
| vector | array of numbers |
| uint8 vector | bin |
| matrix | array of array of numbers |
| empty matrix | nil |
| cell array | array |
| cell matrix | array of arrays |
| struct | map |
| containers.Map | map |
| struct array | array of maps |
| handles | raise error |
There is no way of encoding exts
Converting MsgPack to Matlab
| MsgPack | Matlab |
|---|---|
| string | string |
| number | scalar |
true/false |
logical |
| nil | empty matrix |
| array | cell array |
| map | containers.Map |
| bin | uint8 |
| ext | uint8 |
Note that since structs don't support arbitrary field names, they can't be used for representing maps. We use containers.Map instead.
