QPack

=====

QPack is a fast and efficient serialization format like MessagePack.

One key difference is flexible map and array support which allows

to write directly to a qpack buffer without the need to know

the size for the map or array beforehand.

Installation

------------

From PyPI (recommend)

```

pip install qpack

```

From source code

```

python setup.py install

```

Pack

----

`qpack.packb(object)`

Unpack

----

Unpack serialized data. When decode is left None, each string

will be returned as bytes.

`qpack.unpackb(qp, decode=None, ignore_decode_errors=False, use_tuples=False)`

Example

-------

```python

import qpack

# define some test data

data = {'name': 'Iris', 'age': 9}

# serialize into qpack format

qp = qpack.packb(data)

# unpack the serialized data

unpacked = qpack.unpackb(qp, decode='utf-8')

# left see what we've got...

print(unpacked)  # {'name': 'Iris', 'age': 3}

```
