NotionCommotion Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I am using JSON to pass data between two non-browser machines, and would like to compress it, and am considering CBOR and MessagePack. Does anyone have any experience with either, or any recommendations how to proceed? Looking at both their sites, I found that http://cbor.io/ includes a link to https://github.com/2tvenom/CBOREncode and http://msgpack.org/ includes linkes to https://github.com/rybakit/msgpack.php and https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-php. Google searches found other gitub solutions as well. Any experience with any of them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'd just go with gzip/zlib encoding. Do you want to use a third-party library for a particular reason? Whatever it is, try them out and see what you get. Consider runtime, memory usage, and of course compression ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reason for wanting to use these two is that the other non-PHP machine supports them. https://github.com/nlohmann/json. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Then it's also likely they would have zlib... If you're limited to CBOR or MessagePack then your hands are tied. That CBOR implementation looks nicer to use, but I think it would be more important to decide for the C side of it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
