### Byte layout
Consider the following JSON value (shown formatted for readability):
```
{
"id": 300,
"name": "json",
"pi": 3.14,
"tags": [
"a",
"b"
]
}
```
`to_msgpack` encodes it to 39 bytes (shown in hexadecimal; the encoding contains no whitespace). The colors mark the role of each byte: type/marker length/count/size data.
| JSON | Bytes | Meaning |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `{` | 84 | map with 4 key/value pairs |
| `"id": 300,` | A2 69 64 CD 01 2C | key: fixstr of length 2, then its UTF-8 bytes; value: uint 16 (big-endian) |
| `"name": "json",` | A4 6E 61 6D 65 A4 6A 73 6F 6E | key: fixstr of length 4; value: fixstr of length 4 |
| `"pi": 3.14,` | A2 70 69 CB 40 09 1E B8 51 EB 85 1F | key: fixstr of length 2; value: float 64 (IEEE 754, big-endian) |
| `"tags": [` | A4 74 61 67 73 92 | key: fixstr of length 4; value: fixarray with 2 elements |
| `"a",` | A1 61 | fixstr of length 1 |
| `"b"` | A1 62 | fixstr of length 1 |
| `]` | | no end marker: the element count was given up front |
| `}` | | no end marker: the member count was given up front |
## Deserialization
The library maps MessagePack types to JSON value types as follows:
