CMPEncoder

CMPEncoder provides a swift-friendly interface to camgunz/cmp for encoding and decoding using the msgpack specification.

CMPEncoder is very fast for which it deserves absolutely no credit. It uses the C-based camgunz/cmp to perform encoding and decoding.

CMPEncoder is used in zig for all serialization/deserialization of data to/from its object database.

Installation

Add the following to your dependencies in Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/mgadda/CMPEncoder.git", from: "0.1.0")

Then just import CMPEncoder as needed.

Usage

Encoding

let encoder = CMPEncoder()
encoder.write("Hello, World!")
// Your data is now available in `encoder.buffer`

Decoding

let msgPackedData: Data = ...
let decoder = CMPDecoder(from: msgPackedData)
let str: String = try decoder.read()

Round-trip custom type

Arbitrary custom types that conform to MsgPackSerializable can be serialized and deserialized.

struct Foo {
  let a: Int
  let b: String
}

extension Foo: MsgPackSerializable {
  func serialize(encoder: CMPEncoder) {
    encoder.write(a)
    encoder.write(b)
  }

  init(with decoder: CMPDecoder) throws {
    a = decoder.read()
    b = try decoder.read()
  }
}

let f = Foo(a: 100, b: "bar")
let encoder = CMPEncoder()
encoder.write(f)
let decoder = CMPDecoder(from: encoder.buffer)
let decodedFoo: Foo = try! decoder.read(Foo.self)
