There is a comparison to msgpack here (and to other formats too): http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#appendix-E.2 which states: [MessagePack] is a concise, widely implemented counted binary serialization format, similar in many properties to CBOR, although somewhat less regular. While the data model can be used to represent JSON data, MessagePack has also been used in many remote procedure call (RPC) applications and for long-term storage of data. MessagePack has been essentially stable since it was first published around 2011; it has not yet had a transition. The evolution of MessagePack is impeded by an imperative to maintain complete backwards compatibility with existing stored data, while only few bytecodes are still available for extension. Repeated requests over the years from the MessagePack user community to separate out binary text strings in the encoding recently have led to an extension proposal that would leave MessagePack's raw data ambiguous between its usages for binary and text data. The extension mechanism for MessagePack remains unclear.

Not much in the sense of implementation, but it has text type, indefinite-length encoding, tags and can be easily extended if needed. I think of it as of better msgpack.

Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) binary serialization library.
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format
whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code
size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the
need
for version negotiation. These design goals make it different
from
earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
Here is more info about format: http://cbor.io/
You can easily encode and decode things like built-in types,
arrays, hash-maps, structs, tuples, classes, strings and raw
arrays (ubyte[]).
Here is some simple code:
import cbor;
struct Inner
{
int[] array;
string someText;
}
struct Test
{
ubyte b;
short s;
uint i;
long l;
float f;
double d;
ubyte[] arr;
string str;
Inner inner;
void fun(){} // not encoded
void* pointer; // not encoded
int* numPointer; // not encoded
}
ubyte[1024] buffer;
size_t encodedSize;
Test test = Test(42, -120, 11, -123456789, 0.1234,
-0.987654,
cast(ubyte[])[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], It is a test string,
Inner([1,2,3,4,5], Test of inner struct));
encodedSize = encodeCborArray(buffer[], test);
// ubyte[] and string types are slices of input ubyte[].
Test result = decodeCborSingle!Test(buffer[0..encodedSize]);
// decodeCborSingleDup can be used to auto-dup those types.
assert(test == result);

It's currently the more 'appealing' thing to me for serialization.
