- placebo 11y agoI'm actually using it now for a project after considering various alternatives and am quite happy with the results so far.
- lux 11y agoAfter trying Protobuf on a project between C# and Javascript, we moved to MsgPack and were much happier with the ease of things.

- w0utert 11y agoMessagePack worked great for us, fast, compact serialization, easy to use, great platform & language support. I've never used protocol buffers, mainly because I really dislike that you have to write .proto files that are then translated to code, which IMO In many situations is an unnecessary kludge. I understand it can be useful especially if you need to serialize the same things from different languages, and don't want to write the same serialization code twice (or more), but if that's not a concern for your project, I have no idea why I should prefer protocol buffers over MsgPack
