Add msgpack-arduino to Arduino Library Manager #4

Open s-celles opened 6 years ago

Hello,

I noticed that msgpack-arduino is available using PlatformIO as it have a library.json and is available at https://platformio.org/lib/show/5646/msgpack-arduino/

but it will be nice if msgpack-arduino could be added to Arduino library manager

According https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5:-Library-specification a library.properties file is required - and msgpack-arduino have one. But it's not currently in http://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/library_index.json

Maybe you should register create a new issue using https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Component%3A+Board%2FLib+Manager%22

Kind regards

hey there! thanks for the suggestion perhaps i need to change the name of this repo first to avoid confusion with the other library?

did you find this implementation to be useful?

I need a binary serialization/deserialization library to send data through XBee. I currently don't know which one to choose. See https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/30681/binary-message-formatter/44433#44433 ArduinoJSON (v6 beta) provides also MessagePack support. One important criterion is the ease of installing library (with Arduino IDE, not with PlatformIO). So this could be very useful. I also think that your lib is much smaller. https://github.com/hideakitai/msgpack-arduino can only be used with PlatformIO
