A comment on MessagePack: Fast and Compact Serialization.

Does it have it suitably low memory/CPU requirements to run on embedded devices?

How well does it work on ARM/MIPS?

It works very well at least on ARM.

I've used MessagePack on iPhone 3GS for the format of a dictionary file (> 100MB). I utilized mmap and zero-copy deserialization feature of MessagePack. And I received (and merged) some patches sent by those who use it on iPhone4/iPad2.

I've never tried to run it on MIPS. But it probably works if you use gcc.
