# MessagePack encoding for Golang
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/vmihailenco/msgpack.svg?branch=v2)](https://travis-ci.org/vmihailenco/msgpack)
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack)
Supports:
- Primitives, arrays, maps, structs, time.Time and interface{}.
- Appengine *datastore.Key and datastore.Cursor.
- [CustomEncoder](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#example-CustomEncoder)/CustomDecoder interfaces for custom encoding.
- [Extensions](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#example-RegisterExt) to encode type information.
- Renaming fields via `msgpack:"my_field_name"`.
- Omitting individual empty fields via `msgpack:",omitempty"` tag or all [empty fields in a struct](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#example-Marshal--OmitEmpty).
- [Map keys sorting](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#Encoder.SortMapKeys).
- Encoding/decoding all [structs as arrays](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#Encoder.StructAsArray) or [individual structs](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#example-Marshal--AsArray).
- [Encoder.UseJSONTag](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#Encoder.UseJSONTag) with [Decoder.UseJSONTag](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#Decoder.UseJSONTag) can turn msgpack into drop-in replacement for JSON.
- Simple but very fast and efficient [queries](https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack#example-Decoder-Query).

## Installation
Install:
```shell
go get -u github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack
```
## Quickstart
```go
func ExampleMarshal() {
type Item struct {
Foo string
}
b, err := msgpack.Marshal(&Item{Foo: "bar"})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
var item Item
err = msgpack.Unmarshal(b, &item)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(item.Foo)
// Output: bar
}
```
