MessagePack for Rails 
The Rails way to serialize/deserialize objects with Message Pack. It implements the ActiveSupport encoder & decoder and the ActiveModel serializer for Message Pack.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'msgpack_rails'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install msgpack_rails
Usage
msgpack_rails converts data type using as_json before feeding it into msgpack.
Here are a few examples:
$ ActiveSupport::MessagePack.encode(:a => :b)
=> "\x81\xA1a\xA1b"
$ ActiveSupport::MessagePack.encode(Time.now)
=> "\xB92013-09-11T10:40:39-07:00"
$ Time.now.as_msgpack
=> "2013-09-11T10:48:13-07:00"
$ Time.now.to_msgpack
=> "\xB92013-09-11T10:40:39-07:00"
$ ActiveSupport::MessagePack.decode Time.now.to_msgpack
=> "2013-09-11T11:23:07-07:00"
# After setting ActiveSupport.parse_msgpack_times to true
$ ActiveSupport::MessagePack.decode Time.now.to_msgpack
=> Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:25:18 -0700
You can also use it as part of ActiveModel, similar to to_json:
class Contact
include ActiveModel::Serializers::MessagePack
...
end
@contact = Contact.new
@contact.name = 'Owen Ou'
@contact.age = 28
@contact.created_at = Time.utc(2006, 8, 1)
@contact.awesome = true
@contact.preferences = { 'shows' => 'anime' }
@contact.to_msgpack # => msgpack output
@contact.to_msgpack(:root => true) # => include root in msgpack outputContributing
