socket.io-msgpack-parser

An alternative to the default socket.io-parser, encoding and decoding packets with @msgpack/msgpack.

With that parser, the browser build will be a bit heavier (an additional 7.5 KB minified, 3.0 KB gzipped), but each message will be smaller (sent as binary).

Recommended

• NodeJs v12

Required

• NodeJs v10
