Type Alias Compact

pub type Compact<T> = MsgPack<T, true>;

Available on crate feature msgpack only.

Serializes responses in a compact MesagePack format, where structs are serialized as arrays of their field values.

To respond with compact MessagePack data, return a Compact<T> type, where T implements Serialize from serde. The content type of the response is set to application/msgpack automatically.

use rocket::serde::msgpack;

#[get("/users/<id>")]
fn user(id: usize) -> msgpack::Compact<User> {
    let user_from_id = User::from(id);
    /* ... */
    msgpack::MsgPack(user_from_id)
}

Prefer using MsgPack<T> for request guards, as the named/compact distinction is not relevant for request data - the correct option is implemented automatically. Using Compact<T> as a request guard will NOT prevent named requests from being accepted.

Aliased Type
