msgpack#int_dict_to_str({msgpack-special-int}) *msgpack#int_dict_to_str()*
Function which converts |msgpack-special-dict| integer value to
a hexadecimal value like 0x1234567890ABCDEF (always returns exactly 16
hexadecimal digits).
msgpack#special_type({msgpack-value}) *msgpack#special_type()*
Returns zero if {msgpack-value} is not |msgpack-special-dict|. If it
is it returns name of the key in |v:msgpack_types| which represents
{msgpack-value} type.
msgpack#type({msgpack-value}) *msgpack#type()*
Returns name of the key in |v:msgpack_types| that represents
{msgpack-value} type. Never returns zero: this function returns
msgpack type which will be dumped by |msgpackdump()| should it receive
a list with single {msgpack-value} as input.
msgpack#deepcopy({msgpack-value}) *msgpack#deepcopy()*
Like |deepcopy()|, but works correctly with |msgpack-special-dict|
values. Plain |deepcopy()| will destroy all types in
|msgpack-special-dict| values because it will copy _TYPE key values,
while they should be preserved.
msgpack#string({msgpack-value}) *msgpack#string()*
Like |string()|, but saves information about msgpack types. Values
dumped by msgpack#string may be read back by |msgpack#eval()|.
Returns is the following:
- Dictionaries are dumped as "{key1: value1, key2: value2}". Note:
msgpack allows any values in keys, so with some
|msgpack-special-dict| values |msgpack#string()| may produce even
"{{1: 2}: 3, [4]: 5}".
- Lists are dumped as "[value1, value2]".
- Strings are dumped as
1. `"abc"`: binary string.
2. `="abc"`: string.
3. `+(10)"ext"`: extension strings (10 may be replaced with any
8-bit signed integer).
Inside strings the following escape sequences may be present: "\0"
(represents NUL byte), "\n" (represents line feed) and "\""
(represents double quote).
- Floating-point and integer values are dumped using |string()| or
|msgpack#int_dict_to_str()|.
- Booleans are dumped as "TRUE" or "FALSE".
- Nil values are dumped as "NIL".
msgpack#eval({string}, {dict}) *msgpack#eval()*
Transforms string created by |msgpack#string()| into a value suitable
for |msgpackdump()|. Second argument allows adding special values
that start with head characters (|/\h|) and contain only word
characters (|/\w|). Built-in special values are "TRUE", "FALSE",
"NIL", "nan" and "inf" and they cannot be overridden. Map values are
always evaluated to |msgpack-special-dict| values, as well as
hexadecimal digits. When evaluating maps order of keys is preserved.
Note that in addition to regular integer representations that may be
obtained using |msgpack#string()| msgpack#eval() also supports C-style
“character” integer constants like `'/'` (equivalent to
`char2nr('/')`: `47`). This also allows `'\0'` (number is decimal).
*msgpack#equal*
msgpack#equal({msgpack-value}, {msgpack-value}) *msgpack#equal()*
Returns 1 if given values are equal, 0 otherwise. When comparing
msgpack map values order of keys is ignored. Comparing
|msgpack-special-dict| with equivalent non-special-dict value
evaluates to 1.
