struct User: Codable {
    var id: Int
    var name: String
    var email: String
}

// Function to encode the User struct to MessagePack
func encodeToMessagePack(user: User) -> Data? {
    do {
        let encoder = MessagePackEncoder()
        let data = try encoder.encode(user)
        return data
    } catch {
        print("Error encoding User to MessagePack: \(error)")
        return nil
    }
}

// Usage example
let user = User(id: 1, name: "John Doe", email: "john.doe@example.com")
if let encodedData = encodeToMessagePack(user: user) {
    print("Encoded User to MessagePack: \(encodedData)")
}
