MessagePack VS libvips

so appreciate such a detailed reply, thanks. btw, why did you choose tinylib/msgp from 4 available go-impls?

If you find you're running the serial connection at maximum speed and it's still not fast enough, try switching to a more compact binary encoding that has both Serde and Arduino implementations, like MsgPack... though I don't remember enough about its format off the top of my head to tell you the easiest way to put an unambiguous header on each packet/message to make the protocol self-synchronizing.

The information can be stored in a database or as files, serialized in a standard format and with a schema agreed with your Data Engineering team. Depending on your information and requirements, it can be as simple as CSV, XML or JSON, or Big Data formats such as Parquet, Avro, ORC, Arrow, or message serialization formats like Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, MessagePack, Thrift, or Cap'n Proto.

MessagePack Similar to JSONs, just more compact, although not as much as the ones above. Still, it's usefull to retain some readability in your messages.

I'll try that msgpack.org website.

First of all, you're comparing this to GSON and Kryo, how does it compare to Msgpack, fast-serialization, but also Elsa and I'm sure, many others? Are there any limitations and/or trade-offs?

Upvote for msgpack, one of the great undervalued message protocols available.

I have two suggestions Capnproto, MessagePack (those are only the two examples that came to mind first, i bet there are even one or two especially developed for rust). Both of these are better than json in nearly every way.

Encode messages as JSON or MessagePack.

After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.

h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

Try the solutions here: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/issues/2479

in that case maybe take a look at https://github.com/libvips/libvips

libvips v8.6+ or ImageMagick for image analysis and transformations
