nlohmann::basic_json::to_msgpack

// (1)
static std::vector<std::uint8_t> to_msgpack(const basic_json& j);

// (2)
static void to_msgpack(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<std::uint8_t> o);
static void to_msgpack(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<char> o);

Serializes a given JSON value j to a byte vector using the MessagePack serialization format. MessagePack is a binary serialization format which aims to be more compact than JSON itself, yet more efficient to parse.

  1. Returns a byte vector containing the MessagePack serialization.
  2. Writes the MessagePack serialization to an output adapter.

The exact mapping and its limitations is described on a dedicated page.

Parameters

j (in)
JSON value to serialize
o (in)
output adapter to write serialization to

Return value

  1. MessagePack serialization as byte vector
  2. /

Exception safety

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.

Complexity

Linear in the size of the JSON value j.

Examples

??? example

The example shows the serialization of a JSON value to a byte vector in MessagePack format.
 
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/to_msgpack.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/to_msgpack.output"
```
