Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.

Package description
notepack.io is a fast and efficient implementation of the MessagePack serialization format for JavaScript. It is designed to serialize and deserialize data quickly, making it suitable for performance-critical applications such as real-time data transmission and storage.
Serialization
This feature allows you to serialize JavaScript objects into a compact binary format using MessagePack. The code sample demonstrates how to encode a simple object.
const notepack = require('notepack.io');
const data = { key: 'value' };
const serialized = notepack.encode(data);
console.log(serialized);
Deserialization
This feature allows you to deserialize MessagePack binary data back into JavaScript objects. The code sample shows how to decode a binary buffer into an object.
const notepack = require('notepack.io');
const serialized = Buffer.from([129, 163, 107, 101, 121, 165, 118, 97, 108, 117, 101]);
const deserialized = notepack.decode(serialized);
console.log(deserialized);
msgpack-lite is another implementation of the MessagePack format for JavaScript. It is known for its simplicity and ease of use, but it may not be as fast as notepack.io in certain scenarios.
msgpack5 is a versatile MessagePack implementation that supports both Node.js and browser environments. It offers a good balance between performance and feature set, making it a strong alternative to notepack.io.
msgpack is the official MessagePack library for JavaScript. While it is reliable and well-maintained, it may not offer the same level of performance optimization as notepack.io.

Readme
A fast Node.js implementation of the latest MessagePack spec.
undefined
is encoded as fixext 1 [0, 0]
, i.e. <Buffer d4 00 00>
Date
objects are encoded as fixext 8 [0, ms]
, e.g. new Date('2000-06-13T00:00:00.000Z')
=> <Buffer d7 00 00 00 00 df b7 62 9c 00>
npm install notepack.io
var notepack = require('notepack.io');
var encoded = notepack.encode({ foo: 'bar'}); // <Buffer 81 a3 66 6f 6f a3 62 61 72>
var decoded = notepack.decode(encoded); // { foo: 'bar' }
A browser version of notepack is also available (29.5 kB minified)
<script src="https://rawgit.com/darrachequesne/notepack/master/dist/notepack.js"></script>
<script>
console.log(notepack.decode(notepack.encode([1, '2', new Date()])));
// [1, "2", Thu Dec 08 2016 00:00:01 GMT+0100 (CET)]
</script>
Performance is currently comparable to msgpack-node (which presumably needs optimizing and suffers from JS-native overhead) and is significantly faster than other implementations. Several micro-optimizations are used to improve the performance of short string and Buffer operations.
The ./benchmarks/run
output on my machine is:
$ node -v
v6.9.1
$ ./benchmarks/run
