OutWit.Common.Forms.MessagePack

Carries OutWit.Common.Forms on a MessagePack wire.

The form model is described once, for MemoryPack, because that is what WitRPC speaks without being asked — and it carries no other serialiser's attributes on purpose. A product standardised on MessagePack adds this package and calls it once:

FormsMessagePack.Register();

After that, FormSchema, FormValues and everything they are made of travel through that product's own entry points — ToMessagePackBytes, MessagePackClone — with no attribute added to the model.

Why a package and not one line

Registering ContractlessStandardResolver globally does the same job and loosens the whole application: after it, every unattributed type becomes serialisable, so a model of your own that has lost its [MessagePackObject] stops failing and quietly starts travelling in a different shape.

This registers a resolver scoped to the form model's assembly. Everything else is serialised exactly as it was, and a foreign unattributed type is still refused.

Why not hand-written formatters

A formatter per type is a second description of the model, kept by hand, which goes out of step the first time a field is added. The resolver delegates to contractless for its own types and is four lines long.

The cost is a slightly larger payload — member names rather than numbers — and a schema is sent once per form.
