It also comes with a form widget, basically a <TEXTAREA> where data can be input in JSON. This data is then converted to MsgPack when the form is submitted.

Requirements

• Python 3.4+
• Django 1.8+ (tested with 1.8-3.0)
• msgpack-python

Installation

Install it with pip (or easy_install) :

pip3 install django-msgpackfield

Usage

Typical usage in a Django model:

from django.db import models
from msgpackfield import MsgPackField

class MyModel ( models.Model ) :
    data = MsgPackField( null=True, blank=True )

obj = MyModel()
obj.data = { 'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, 'baz': [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] }
obj.save()
