Simplified, easy to use, pure Rust MessagePack implementation focused on handling dynamic data structures.

Documentation

Example usage:

```rust use msgpack_simple::{MsgPack, MapElement, Extension};

let message = MsgPack::Map(vec![ MapElement { key: MsgPack::String(String::from("hello")), value: MsgPack::Int(42) }, MapElement { key: MsgPack::String(String::from("world")), value: MsgPack::Array(vec![ MsgPack::Boolean(true), MsgPack::Nil, MsgPack::Binary(vec![0x42, 0xff]), MsgPack::Extension(Extension { type_id: 2, value: vec![0x32, 0x4a, 0x67, 0x11] }) ]) } ]);

let encoded = message.encode(); // encoded is a Vec let decoded = MsgPack::parse(&encoded).unwrap();

println!("{}", decoded); asserteq!(message, decoded); assert!(message.ismap());

let mut map = message.asmap().unwrap(); // map is a Vec let secondelement = map.remove(1);

assert!(secondelement.key.isstring()); asserteq!(secondelement.key.asstring().unwrap(), "world".tostring());

assert!(secondelement.value.isarray());

let mut array = secondelement.value.asarray().unwrap(); // array is a Vec let nil = array.remove(1);

assert!(nil.is_nil()); ```

This library abstracts MessagePack data into a single MsgPack enum which can correspond to any encodable data type and handle nested data structures dynamically. It's not as performant as static solutions, for that, mneumann's rust-msgpack and 3Hren's RMP crates are recommended, but it is able to parse messages without full prior knowledge of their structure.
