Summary : Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

License : BSD
Description : Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient
: yet extensible format. Google uses Protocol Buffers for almost all of
: its internal RPC protocols and file formats.
:
: Protocol buffers are a flexible, efficient, automated mechanism for
: serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and
: simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once, then
: you can use special generated source code to easily write and read
: your structured data to and from a variety of data streams and using a
: variety of languages. You can even update your data structure without
: breaking deployed programs that are compiled against the "old" format.
