While 64 bit integers are built-in types of msgpack and BigInt is a built-in type of javascript, solving 64 bit problem with extension codec is not an compatible way when making cross-language systems. If javascript developers use an extension codec to support 64bit integers, then developers in other languages will have to write an corresponding extension codec, while msgpack implementation in other languages (c++, c, python, java, etc.) natively support mapping 64 bit integers into their language-specific type.\r\n\r\nTo support BigInt, I think this library should map 64 bit integers to BigInt natively or this library should add support to register custom codec for built-in types.\r\n\r\noriginal issue #114 ","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bin-y","@type":"Person","name":"bin-y"},"datePublished":"2020-06-23T05:07:15.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/115/msgpack-javascript/issues/115"}
