Convert Type to Value (org.msgpack.value.Value), if one exists

[chintan-mishra]

How can I convert an Array to ArrayValue?

For instance

String[] myStringArray = {"abc", "def", "ghi"}
// now I want to pack it in MessageBufferPacker
// I don't want to use a loop(really big array 200 elements) to read
// each value followed by packString

messageBufferPacker.packValue(myStringArray.asArrayValue)
// This doesn't work.

What should I do?

@chintan-mishra Try using https://static.javadoc.io/org.msgpack/msgpack-core/0.8.14/org/msgpack/value/ValueFactory.html

import static ValueFactory.*
newArray(newString("abc"), ...)

I still have to iterate over a large number of elements.

If that's the case, directly calling packArrayHeader(n), packString(x_1),..., packString(x_n) is better .

I will make do with this for now.
