    Unpacks MessagePack payloads into JSON inside DevTools.

    



    



## Overview

[MessagePack](https://msgpack.org/) is the incredible alternative for serializing data in network transmissions.

However, it has one significant drawback in compare with widely used and familiar JSON format -- its readability by humans.

This extension makes an attempt to compensate this inconvenience by unpacking MessagePack-decoded payloads to the regular JSON, and displaying it into separate DevTools tab.

## Usage

- Clone this repository.

- Load the whole directory in Chrome as an [unpacked extension](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/get-started/tutorial/hello-world#load-unpacked).

- Open DevTools and click the **MsgPack Unpacker** tab.

- Open any web page served MsgPack payloads, the decoded JSON will automatically be displayed in the panel.
