ormsgpack is a fast msgpack serialization library for Python derived from orjson, with native support for various Python types.
ormsgpack supports CPython 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13. Releases follow semantic versioning and serializing a new object type without an opt-in flag is considered a breaking change.
ormsgpack is licensed under both the Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses. The repository and issue tracker is github.com/aviramha/ormsgpack, and patches may be submitted there. There is a CHANGELOG available in the repository.
To install a wheel from PyPI:
pip install --upgrade "pip>=20.3" # manylinux_x_y, universal2 wheel support
pip install --upgrade ormsgpackTo build a wheel, see packaging.
This is an example of serializing, with options specified, and deserializing:
>>> import ormsgpack, datetime, numpy
>>> data = {
... "type": "job",
... "created_at": datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1),
... "status": "🆗",
... "payload": numpy.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]]),
... }
>>> ormsgpack.packb(data, option=ormsgpack.OPT_NAIVE_UTC | ormsgpack.OPT_SERIALIZE_NUMPY)
b'\x84\xa4type\xa3job\xaacreated_at\xb91970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00\xa6status\xa4\xf0\x9f\x86\x97\xa7payload\x92\x92\x01\x02\x92\x03\x04'

__obj: Any,
default: Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]] = ...,
option: Optional[int] = ...,
) -> bytes: ...packb() serializes Python objects to msgpack.
It natively serializes
bytes, str, dict, list, tuple, int, float, bool,
dataclasses.dataclass, typing.TypedDict, datetime.datetime,
datetime.date, datetime.time, uuid.UUID, numpy.ndarray, and
None instances. It supports arbitrary types through default. It
serializes subclasses of str, int, dict, list,
dataclasses.dataclass, and enum.Enum. It does not serialize subclasses
of tuple to avoid serializing namedtuple objects as arrays. To avoid
serializing subclasses, specify the option ormsgpack.OPT_PASSTHROUGH_SUBCLASS.
The output is a bytes object.
The global interpreter lock (GIL) is held for the duration of the call.
It raises MsgpackEncodeError on an unsupported type. This exception message
describes the invalid object with the error message
Type is not msgpack serializable: .... To fix this, specify
default.
It raises MsgpackEncodeError on a str that contains invalid UTF-8.
It raises MsgpackEncodeError if a dict has a key of a type other than str or bytes,
unless OPT_NON_STR_KEYS is specified.
It raises MsgpackEncodeError if the output of default recurses to handling by
default more than 254 levels deep.
It raises MsgpackEncodeError on circular references.
It raises MsgpackEncodeError if a tzinfo on a datetime object is
unsupported.
MsgpackEncodeError is a subclass of TypeError.
To serialize a subclass or arbitrary types, specify default as a
callable that returns a supported type. default may be a function,
lambda, or callable class instance. To specify that a type was not
handled by default, raise an exception such as TypeError.
>>> import ormsgpack, decimal
>>> def default(obj):
... if isinstance(obj, decimal.Decimal):
... return str(obj)
... raise TypeError
...
>>> ormsgpack.packb(decimal.Decimal("0.0842389659712649442845"))
TypeError: Type is not msgpack serializable: decimal.Decimal
>>> ormsgpack.packb(decimal.Decimal("0.0842389659712649442845"), default=default)
b'\xb80.0842389659712649442845'
>>> ormsgpack.packb({1, 2}, default=default)
TypeError: Type is not msgpack serializable: setThe default callable may return an object that itself
must be handled by default up to 254 times before an exception
is raised.
It is important that default raise an exception if a type cannot be handled.
Python otherwise implicitly returns None, which appears to the caller
like a legitimate value and is serialized:
>>> import ormsgpack, decimal
>>> def default(obj):
... if isinstance(obj, decimal.Decimal):
... return str(obj)
...
>>> ormsgpack.packb({"set":{1, 2}}, default=default)
b'\x81\xa3set\xc0'
>>> ormsgpack.unpackb(_)
{'set': None}To serialize a type as a MessagePack extension type, return an
ormsgpack.Ext object. The instantiation arguments are an integer in
the range [0, 127] and a bytes object, defining the type and
value, respectively.
>>> import ormsgpack, decimal
>>> def default(obj):
... if isinstance(obj, decimal.Decimal):
... return ormsgpack.Ext(0, str(obj).encode())
... raise TypeError
...
>>> ormsgpack.packb(decimal.Decimal("0.0842389659712649442845"), default=default)
b'\xc7\x18\x000.0842389659712649442845'To modify how data is serialized, specify option. Each option is an integer
constant in ormsgpack. To specify multiple options, mask them together, e.g.,
option=ormsgpack.OPT_NON_STR_KEYS | ormsgpack.OPT_NAIVE_UTC.
Serialize datetime.datetime objects without a tzinfo and numpy.datetime64
objects as UTC. This has no effect on datetime.datetime objects that have
tzinfo set.

{'1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00': [1, 2, 3]}These types are generally serialized how they would be as
values, e.g., datetime.datetime is still an RFC 3339 string and respects
options affecting it.
This option has the risk of creating duplicate keys. This is because non-str
objects may serialize to the same str as an existing key, e.g.,
{"1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00": true, datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0): false}.
The last key to be inserted to the dict will be serialized last and a msgpack deserializer will presumably take the last
occurrence of a key (in the above, false). The first value will be lost.
This option is not compatible with ormsgpack.OPT_SORT_KEYS.
Do not serialize the microsecond component of datetime.datetime,
datetime.time and numpy.datetime64 instances.

Serialize pydantic.BaseModel instances.
Serialize dict keys and pydantic model fields in sorted order. The default
is to serialize in an unspecified order.
This can be used to ensure the order is deterministic for hashing or tests. It has a substantial performance penalty and is not recommended in general.

bytes, bytearray, memoryview input are accepted.
ormsgpack maintains a cache of map keys for the duration of the process. This causes a net reduction in memory usage by avoiding duplicate strings. The keys must be at most 64 bytes to be cached and 512 entries are stored.
The global interpreter lock (GIL) is held for the duration of the call.
It raises MsgpackDecodeError if given an invalid type or invalid
msgpack.
MsgpackDecodeError is a subclass of ValueError.
To deserialize extension types, specify the optional ext_hook
argument. The value should be a callable and is invoked with the
extension type and value as arguments.

Be aware that this option is considered unsafe and disabled by default in msgpack due to possibility of HashDoS.
ormsgpack serializes instances of dataclasses.dataclass natively. It serializes
instances 40-50x as fast as other libraries and avoids a severe slowdown seen
in other libraries compared to serializing dict.
It is supported to pass all variants of dataclasses, including dataclasses
using __slots__, frozen dataclasses, those with optional or default
attributes, and subclasses. There is a performance benefit to not
using __slots__.
Dataclasses are serialized as maps, with every attribute serialized and in the order given on class definition:
>>> import dataclasses, ormsgpack, typing
>>> @dataclasses.dataclass
... class Member:
... id: int
... active: bool = dataclasses.field(default=False)

RFC 3339 format,
e.g., "1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00". This is a subset of ISO 8601 and is
compatible with isoformat() in the standard library.

1ormsgpack serializes and deserializes double precision floats with no loss of precision and consistent rounding.
ormsgpack serializes and deserializes 64-bit integers by default. The range supported is a signed 64-bit integer's minimum (-9223372036854775807) to an unsigned 64-bit integer's maximum (18446744073709551615).
ormsgpack natively serializes numpy.ndarray and individual
numpy.float64, numpy.float32, numpy.float16,
numpy.int64, numpy.int32, numpy.int16, numpy.int8,
numpy.uint64, numpy.uint32, numpy.uint16, numpy.uint8,
numpy.uintp, numpy.intp, numpy.datetime64, and numpy.bool
instances.
numpy.datetime64 instances are serialized as RFC 3339 strings.
ormsgpack is faster than all compared libraries at serializing
numpy instances. Serializing numpy data requires specifying
option=ormsgpack.OPT_SERIALIZE_NUMPY.
>>> import ormsgpack, numpy

[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]The array must be a contiguous C array (C_CONTIGUOUS) and one of the
supported datatypes.
If an array is not a contiguous C array or contains an supported datatype,
ormsgpack falls through to default. In default, obj.tolist() can be
specified. If an array is malformed, which is not expected,
ormsgpack.MsgpackEncodeError is raised.

'886313e1-3b8a-5372-9b90-0c9aee199e5dormsgpack serializes pydantic.BaseModel instances natively, with
duck-typing.
This is equivalent to serializing
model.model_dump(serialize_as_any=True) with Pydantic V2 or
model.dict()with Pydantic V1.

The above was measured using Python 3.7.9 on Azure Linux VM (x86_64) with ormsgpack 0.2.1 and msgpack 1.0.2.
The latency results can be reproduced using ./scripts/benchmark.sh and graphs using
pytest --benchmark-histogram benchmarks/bench_*.
Probably pip needs to be upgraded to version 20.3 or later to support
the latest manylinux_x_y or universal2 wheel formats.
No. This requires a schema specifying what types are expected and how to handle errors etc. This is addressed by data validation libraries a level above this.
To package ormsgpack requires Rust 1.70
or newer and the maturin build
tool. The default feature unstable-simd enables the usage of SIMD
operations and requires nightly Rust. The recommended build command
is:
maturin build --release --stripormsgpack is tested on Linux/amd64, Linux/aarch64, Linux/armv7, macOS/amd64 and Windows/amd64.
There are no runtime dependencies other than libc.
