Why would one use msgpack over flat buffers? AFAIK offers an amazing zero copy feature meaning you can get to the data of interest without having to parse the whole object in memory. Since every type is length prefixed you’re can jump around indexes quickly to access what’s needed and only read that.
It seems msgpack still needs a deserialize step to partially read data right ?
Netflix uses flatbuffers and works wonders in low powered devices.
