v0.1.705-alpha

What's Changed

This is our initial release. Your feedback is most welcome!

Features

• Serializes in the compact and fast MessagePack format.
• Performance is on par with the highly tuned and popular MessagePack-CSharp library.
• Automatically serialize any type annotated with the TypeShape-csharp [GenerateShape] attribute.
• Automatically serialize non-annotated types by adding a 'witness' type with a similar annotation.
• Fast ref-based serialization and deserialization minimizes copying of large structs.
• NativeAOT and trimming compatible.
• Keep memory pressure low by using async serialization directly to/from I/O like a network, IPC pipe or file.
• Primitive msgpack reader and writer APIs for low-level scenarios.
• Author custom converters for advanced scenarios.
• Security mitigations for stack overflows.
• Optionally serialize your custom types as arrays of values instead of maps of names and value for more compact representation and even higher performance.
• Support for serializing instances of certain types derived from the declared type and deserializing them back to their original runtime types using unions.
