msgpack is a binary format similar to BSON, and rmp_serde is a crate providing serialization/deserialization functionality similar to our BSON library. rmp_serde outperforms bson when deserializing from a slice of bytes, however. We should strive to improve bson 's performance to meet that of rmp_serde.
