Akka.NET serialization with MessagePack

• .NET Core 2.0 (via .NET Standard 2.0)
• .NET Framework 4.6.1 and higher (via .NET Standard 2.0)

• Primitive types (int, string, long, etc)
• Build-in types (DateTime, DateTimeOffset, TimeSpan, Guid, Uri, Enum, etc)
• Collections (List<T>, HashSet<T>, Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, etc)
• Immutable Collections
• Exceptions (only in netstandard2.0)
• Akka.NET specific types (ActorPath and ActorRef)
• Object types (polymorphic serialization)
• Generic types
• Version tolerance

• Internal and private classes
• Classes with private or internal constructors
• F# types (Set, Map, List, FSharpAsync<T>, discriminated unions)
• Handling circular references
• Preserve object references

Bind MessagePack serializer using following HOCON configuration in your actor system settings:

akka {
  actor {
    serializers {
      messagepack = "Akka.Serialization.MessagePack.MsgPackSerializer, Akka.Serialization.MessagePack"
    }
    serialization-bindings {
      "System.Object" = messagepack
    }
  }
}
