AI–generated Summary

Definition

a binary serialization format, similar in concept to JSON but aiming for greater conciseness. Defined in [RFC7049]. Source: Dr. S.Smith, 2024

Explanation

It is a binary data serialization format loosely based on JSON authored by C. Bormann. Like JSON it allows the transmission of data objects that contain name–value pairs, but in a more concise manner. This increases processing and transfer speeds at the cost of human readability.

MessagePack
