MessagePack: fast cross-platform serializer and RPC - please share experience

Question

Looking for some fast, simple and stable RPC library I stumbled upon MessagePack project which seems to be very good. It is also under active development.

If you used it

Answer 1

I'm also looking into a fast, cross-platform, cross-language, non-GPL-licensed RPC library.

From looking at the C++ source of MessagePack it seems that it doesn't work on Win32 though, which is a requirement for myself.

Except for that that single item it is on top of my list of serialization/RPC libraries.

• http://msgpack.org/ - Win32 missing
• http://avro.apache.org/
• http://thrift.apache.org/ - Win32 missing
• http://bert-rpc.org/
• http://www.xmlrpc.com/
• http://json-rpc.org/ - GPL license
• http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ - RPC missing
