Thanks for replying. When I explored Msgpack, it was the Objective-C library that I tried using. Overall it was a great experience - nice work on the wrapper. I think you're right - I was trying to use Msgpack to do more than I could do with JSON (namely, to transmit NSData without having to stringify it). When I realized all the NSData objects were being automatically converted into strings when the data structure was inflated, I figured I'd need to prevent that behavior and do it on only certain keys (which would need to be specified somehow, hence my thought of a schema). Thanks for clarifying!
