MessagePack v0.9.0 Release Notes

  • 👍 This version support reading and writing Timestamp values. Packer and unpacker interfaces added pack/unpackTimestamp methods.

    Timestamp value in MessagePack is an extension type value whose code is -1. You can read TimestampValue object with MessgageUnapcker.unpackValue method. If you are using low-level unpack methods (e.g., unpackInt, unpackExtension, etc.), you need to read unpackExtensionHeader first, and if extHeader.isTimestampType() is true, call unpackTimestamp(extHeader).

    📄 Timestamp values are represented with java.time.Instant objects. You can extract the unixtime value with Instant.getEpochSecond(), unixtime with milliseconds resolution with Instant.toEpochMilli(), and nano-resolution time with Instant.getNano().

    As TimestampValue is just a sub class of ExtensionValue, no change requierd in your code that are traversing MessagePack data with MessageUnpacker.unpackValue method.

    • ➕ Added Timestamp support #565 and low-level APIs #580 for reading timestamp values.
