Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

MessagePack is an alternate serialized format to JSON. It's gaining traction in IoT, Mobile Apps, and other areas. It's especially nice because it can be used as a drop-in for JSON in most languages it's implemented in.

Ideally, this feature would allow the user to write JSON and see JSON, and silently handle MessagePack serialization/deserialization in the background when communicating with MessagePack APIs.

Why should this be worked on?

MessagePack is a popular format for APIs and having support would help bring more users. I need a little guidance maybe since this would be my first contribution on the project but I am more than happy to implement this myself :)

Competitively, Postman etc do not support MessagePack yet, despite users asking for support.

@Phamiliarize if you want to work on this, we are happy to help you with it. You can ping from the Hoppscotch Discord Server.

We are currently a bit busy with other projects to pursue this ourselves for now anyways.
