// Start Mess by passing a user secret code for securing origin of payloads
Mess::init(array(
  'secret' => 'this_is_my_secret',
));

// Test data
$data_to_send = "Some data.";

// Encode data into an URL-secure payload
// You can pass this to a get/post request or into a form input tag
$payload = Mess::pack($data_to_send);
