I did this for a related binary format called BinToken:

 
https://github.com/breese/trial.protocol/tree/develop/include/trial/protocol/bintoken

It supports both low-level iteration over the binary format,
serialization directly into C++ data structures, and DOM parsing.

I used to have a MsgPack (and UBJSON) implementation as well, but I did
not upgrade them after a major redesign because I had no personal use
for them.
