Message Pack for LabVIEW

This project implements the Message Pack (msgpack) in LabVIEW, using a fast alternate C implementation of the protocol.

These bindings present a simple interface to packing data into a binary stream, presenting a simple and efficient means of transmitting data over the wire, and between the many programming languages which implement the protocol.

Below is a simple example demonstrating how easy it is to serialise data with msgpack, and how compact the result (shown in hex) is compared to its JSON equivalent.

The bindings support:

• Signed/unsigned integers (up to 64-bit)
• Floating points (up to doubles)
• Booleans
• Strings/raw data
• Nulls (void variants)
• Clusters (as string maps) including any supported type
• Arrays of any supported type
• Arbitrary key/value pairs
• Heterogeneous arrays

The library is easily installed by downloading the package and installing it with the VI Package Manager, or clone the mercurial repository for the latest updates.
