+MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. The benefits over other formats is that it's faster and smaller. 
+
+In MessagePack, small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves. This makes MessagePack useful for efficient transmission over wire.
