A fast, zero-copy Transit-format reader and writer written in C

Transit.c is a new C implementation of the Transit data format, offering zero-copy reading and writing capabilities. The format provides a richer type system than JSON while maintaining compatibility with JSON and MessagePack tooling, featuring built-in compression for repeated elements and support for additional data types like timestamps and UUIDs.

Background

Transit is a data format developed by Cognitect/Clojure that extends JSON and MessagePack with a richer type system and built-in compression, designed for efficient data exchange between different programming languages.
