**@cdunn2001** msgpack just can not cover all the fields that NESM does. For example deserialization of third-party file format or make a model of IP packet.
[Here](https://github.com/FedericoCeratto/NESM/blob/6b08b33ff82a5d5b7eec166c6d7427446ceab75a/demos/ntp.nim) is a little demo of NTP packet model created by **@FedericoCeratto**. Can msgpack do something like this? I'm not much familiar with it but something tells me that it is not the purpose msgpack made for.
