enum support had been incomplete.
This fix made enum support complete.
Replaced int with auto on c++11 scoped enum.
Replaced template specializations with function overloads on operator<< and operator>> for enum.
enum can convert to object with and without zone.
When you want to adapt enum, you need to write as follows:
// NOT msgpack.hpp
enum yourenum {
elem
};
MSGPACK_ADD_ENUM(yourenum);
// msgpack.hpp should be included after MSGPACK_ADD_ENUM(...)
int main() {
msgpack::object obj(yourenum::elem);
}
Msgpack for C/C++
It's like JSON but small and fast.
Overview
MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. But it's faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.

Using Msgpack
Header only library for C++
When you use msgpack on C++03 and C++11, you just add msgpack-c/include to your include path. You don't need to link any msgpack libraries.
e.g.)
g++ -I msgpack-c/include your_source_file.cpp
If you want to use C version of msgpack, you need to build it. You can also install C and C++ version of msgpack.
Building and Installing
Install from git repository
Using autotools
You will need gcc (4.1.0 or higher), autotools.
For C: C++03 and C:
$ git clone https://github.com/redboltz/msgpack-c/tree/cxx_separate
$ cd msgpack-c
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
For C++11:
$ git clone https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c.git
$ cd msgpack-c
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11"
$ make
$ sudo make install
You need the compiler that fully supports C++11.
Using cmake
CUI
You will need gcc (4.1.0 or higher), cmake.
$ git clone https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c.git
$ cd msgpack-c
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sudo make install
If you want to setup C++11 version of msgpack, execute the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c.git
$ cd msgpack-c
$ cmake -DMSGPACK_CXX11=ON .
$ sudo make install
You need the compiler that fully supports C++11.
GUI on Windows
Clone msgpack-c git repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c.git
or using GUI git client.
e.g.) tortoise git https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/
-
Launch cmake GUI client. http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
-
Set 'Where is the source code:' text box and 'Where to build the binaries:' text box.
-
Click 'Configure' button.
-
Choose your Visual Studio version.
-
Click 'Generate' button.
-
Open the created msgpack.sln on Visual Studio.
-
Build all.
Code Example
#include <msgpack.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
// This is target object.
std::vector<std::string> target;
target.push_back("Hello,");
target.push_back("World!");
// Serialize it.
msgpack::sbuffer sbuf; // simple buffer
msgpack::pack(&sbuf, target);
// Deserialize the serialized data.
msgpack::unpacked msg; // includes memory pool and deserialized object
msgpack::unpack(msg, sbuf.data(), sbuf.size());
msgpack::object obj = msg.get();
// Print the deserialized object to stdout.
std::cout << obj << std::endl; // ["Hello," "World!"]
// Convert the deserialized object to staticaly typed object.
std::vector<std::string> result;
obj.convert(&result);
// If the type is mismatched, it throws msgpack::type_error.
obj.as<int>(); // type is mismatched, msgpack::type_error is thrown
}
