Detailed Description

MsgPuck is a simple and efficient MsgPack encoder/decoder library in a single self-contained file.

MsgPuck Usage example:

// Encode
char buf[1024];
char *w = buf;
w = mp_encode_array(w, 4)
w = mp_encode_uint(w, 10);
w = mp_encode_str(w, "hello world", strlen("hello world"));
w = mp_encode_bool(w, true);
w = mp_encode_double(w, 3.1415);
// Validate
const char *b = buf;
int r = mp_check(&b, w);
assert(!r)
assert(b == w);
// Decode
uint32_t size;
uint64_t ival;
const char *sval;
uint32_t sval_len;
bool bval;
double dval;
const char *r = buf;
size = mp_decode_array(&r);
// size is 4
ival = mp_decode_uint(&r);
// ival is 10;
sval = mp_decode_str(&r, &sval_len);
// sval is "hello world", sval_len is strlen("hello world")
bval = mp_decode_bool(&r);
// bval is true
dval = mp_decode_double(&r);
// dval is 3.1415
assert(r == w);

Note: Supported compilers. The implementation requires a C99+ or C++03+ compatible compiler.; Inline functions. The implementation is compatible with both C99 and GNU inline functions. Please define MP_SOURCE 1 before #include <msgpuck.h> in a single compilation unit. This module will be used to store non-inlined versions of functions and global tables.

char* mp_encode_str	(	char *	data,
		const char *	str,
		uint32_t	len

Parameters

data	- a buffer
str	- a pointer to string data
len	- a string length

Returns: data + mp_sizeof_str(len) == data + mp_sizeof_strl(len) + len

See also: mp_encode_strl

char* mp_encode_strl	(	char *	data,
		uint32_t	len
	)

Encode a string header of length len.

The function encodes MsgPack header (only header) for a string of length len. You should append actual string data to the buffer manually after encoding the header (exactly len bytes without trailing '\0').

This approach is very useful for cases when the total length of the string is known in advance, but the string data is not stored in a single continuous buffer (e.g. network packets).

It is your responsibility to ensure that data has enough space. Usage example:

 char buffer[1024];
 char *b = buffer;
 b = mp_encode_strl(b, hdr.total_len);
 char *s = b;
 memcpy(b, pkt1.data, pkt1.len)
 b += pkt1.len;
 // get next packet
 memcpy(b, pkt2.data, pkt2.len)
 b += pkt2.len;
 // get next packet
 memcpy(b, pkt1.data, pkt3.len)
 b += pkt3.len;
 
 // Check that all data was received
 assert(hdr.total_len == (uint32_t) (b - s))

Hint: you can dynamically reallocate the buffer during the process.

Parameters

data	- a buffer
len	- a string length

Returns: data + mp_sizeof_strl(len)

See also: mp_sizeof_strl()

char* mp_encode_uint	(	char *	data,
		uint64_t	num
	)

Encode an unsigned integer num. It is your responsibility to ensure that data has enough space.

Parameters

data	- a buffer
num	- a number

Returns: data + mp_sizeof_uint(num)

See also: An usage example; mp_sizeof_uint()

size_t mp_format	(	char *	data,
		size_t	data_size,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

Encode a sequence of values according to format string. Example: mp_format(buf, sz, "[%d {%d%s%d%s}]", 42, 0, "false", 1, "true"); to get a msgpack array of two items: number 42 and map (0->"false, 2->"true") Does not write items that don't fit to data_size argument.

Parameters

data	- a buffer
data_size	- a buffer size
format	- zero-end string, containing structure of resulting msgpack and types of next arguments. Format can contain '[' and ']' pairs, defining arrays, '{' and '}' pairs, defining maps, and format specifiers, described below: d, i - int u - unsigned int ld, li - long lu - unsigned long lld, lli - long long llu - unsigned long long hd, hi - short hu - unsigned short hhd, hhi - char (as number) hhu - unsigned char (as number) f - float lf - double b - bool s - zero-end string %.*s - string with specified length %% is ignored %<smth else>=""> assert and undefined behaviour NIL - a nil value all other symbols are ignored.

Returns: the number of requred bytes.

Return values

>	data_size means that is not enough space and whole msgpack was not encoded.

void mp_next ( const char ** data )

Skip one element in a packed data.

The function is faster than mp_typeof + mp_decode_XXX() combination. For arrays and maps the function also skips all members. For strings and binstrings the function also skips the string data.

Usage example:

 char buf[1024];
 
 char *w = buf;
 // First MsgPack object
 w = mp_encode_uint(w, 10);
 
 // Second MsgPack object
 w = mp_encode_array(w, 4);
    w = mp_encode_array(w, 2);
         // Begin of an inner array
         w = mp_encode_str(w, "second inner 1", 14);
         w = mp_encode_str(w, "second inner 2", 14);
         // End of an inner array
    w = mp_encode_str(w, "second", 6);
    w = mp_encode_uint(w, 20);
    w = mp_encode_bool(w, true);
 
 // Third MsgPack object
 w = mp_encode_str(w, "third", 5);
 // EOF
 
 const char *r = buf;
 
 // First MsgPack object
 assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_UINT);
 mp_next(&r); // skip the first object
 
 // Second MsgPack object
 assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_ARRAY);
 mp_decode_array(&r);
     assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_ARRAY); // inner array
     mp_next(&r); // -->> skip the entire inner array (with all members)
     assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_STR); // second
     mp_next(&r);
     assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_UINT); // 20
     mp_next(&r);
     assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_BOOL); // true
     mp_next(&r);
 
 // Third MsgPack object
 assert(mp_typeof(**r) == MP_STR); // third
 mp_next(&r);
 
 assert(r == w); // EOF
