ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

MessagePack

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with building blocks and tried to fit them all into a small box? That's what computers do when they send data from one place to another. They pack lots of little pieces of information into a box and send them away.

Now, different computer programs use different ways of packing the data into those boxes. They might use a system called JSON or XML, but today we're talking about MessagePack.

MessagePack is a special way of packing data that is really good for computers that need to send lots and lots of information really quickly. It's like putting all the building blocks into a really tiny box, and then when the other computer gets the box, it can unpack all the blocks super fast!

This special way of packing data is also really good because it doesn't take up too much space, which means that the computers can send lots of information without it taking up too much room. It's like if you had a backpack that could magically fit way more toys than you thought it could!

So in summary, MessagePack is a special system that helps computers pack and send data really quickly and efficiently. It's like a tiny box that can fit lots of things inside without taking up too much space!
