Notes

Note for msgpack 2.0 support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
msgpack 2.0 adds two types: *bin* and *ext*.
*raw* was bytes or string type like Python 2's ``str``.
To distinguish string and bytes, msgpack 2.0 adds *bin*.
It is non-string binary like Python 3's ``bytes``.
To use *bin* type for packing ``bytes``, pass ``use_bin_type=True`` to
packer argument.
>>> import msgpack
>>> packed = msgpack.packb([b'spam', u'egg'], use_bin_type=True)
>>> msgpack.unpackb(packed, encoding='utf-8')
['spam', u'egg']
You shoud use it carefully. When you use ``use_bin_type=True``, packed
binary can be unpacked by unpackers supporting msgpack-2.0.
To use *ext* type, pass ``msgpack.ExtType`` object to packer.
>>> import msgpack
>>> packed = msgpack.packb(msgpack.ExtType(42, b'xyzzy'))
>>> msgpack.unpackb(packed)
ExtType(code=42, data='xyzzy')
You can use it with ``default`` and ``ext_hook``. See below.
Note for msgpack 0.2.x users
----------------------------
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The msgpack 0.3 have some incompatible changes.
