Module codec 

CLASP Binary Codec

Efficient binary encoding for all CLASP messages. Backward compatible: can decode v2 MessagePack frames.

Performance

Compared to v2 (MessagePack with named keys):

• SET message: 69 bytes → 32 bytes (54% smaller)
• Encoding speed: ~10M msg/s (vs 1.8M)
• Decoding speed: ~12M msg/s (vs 1.5M)

Modules
