Quick Start

Define class and mark as [MessagePackObject] and public properties mark [Key], call MessagePackSerializer.Serialize<T>/Deserialize<T>.

// mark MessagePackObjectAttribute
[MessagePackObject]
public class MyClass
{
    // Key is serialization index, it is important for versioning.
    [Key(0)]
    public int Age { get; set; }

    [Key(1)]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Key(2)]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    // If does not mark KeyAttribute, the property don't serialize/deserialize it.
    public string FullName { get { return FirstName + LastName; } }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var mc = new MyClass
        {
            Age = 99,
            FirstName = "hoge",
            LastName = "huga",
        };

		// call Serialize/Deserialize, that's all.
        var bytes = MessagePackSerializer.Serialize(mc);
        var mc2 = MessagePackSerializer.Deserialize<MyClass>(bytes);
    }
}

Build

Open MessagePack.sln on Visual Studio 2017. T4Templates project is dummy project so unload-project.

Unity Project is using symbolic link. At first, run make_unity_symlink.bat so linked under Unity project. You can open src\MessagePack.UnityClient on Unity Editor.

CodeGenerator(mpc.exe) is merged single exe to many dll by LibZ. run build_libz.bat, you can combine it.
