Serializer

MsgPack-based (de)serialization utils, wrapped into a namespace class.

This class has no value being instantiated: it merely acts as a namespace to pack together encoding and decoding utils to convert data to and from MsgPack dump bytes or binary files.

The MsgPack encoding and decoding capabilities are enhanced to add support for the following non-standard object types: - numpy arrays and scalars - torch tensors (that are always loaded on CPU) - tuples (which would otherwise be converted to lists)

Functions

dump(obj, path)

Serialize data into a MsgPack binary dump file.

Parameters:
