AsciiPack

AsciiPack is an object serialization inspired by MessagePack.

AsciiPack is use easy by Web. because all serialize object is only writed ascii strings.

Demo

JSON is 27 chars:
{"compact":true,"binary":0}

AsciiPack is 19 chars:
r2NcompactYMbinary0
    r2 => map of length 2.
    Ncompact => string of length 7 and value is "compact".
    Y => true.
    Mbinary => string of length 6 abd value is "binary".
    0 => int value is 0.
