Public predicates

.. index:: parse/2 .. _message_pack/1::parse/2:

parse/2 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Parses a list of bytes in the MessagePack format returning the corresponding term representation. Throws an error when parsing is not possible (usually due to an invalid byte sequence).

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | parse(Bytes,Term) | Mode and number of proofs: | parse(@list(byte),-ground) - one_or_error

.. index:: generate/2 .. _message_pack/1::generate/2:

generate/2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Generates a list of bytes in the MessagePack format representing the given term. Throws an error when generating is not possible (usually due to a term with no corresponding MessagePack representation).

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | generate(Term,Bytes) | Mode and number of proofs: | generate(@ground,-list(byte)) - one_or_error
