---+ Google's Protocol Buffers
Protocol buffers are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral,
extensible mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but
smaller, faster, and simpler. You define how you want your data to be
structured once. This takes the form of a template that describes the
data structure. You use this template to encode and decode your data
structure into wire-streams that may be sent-to or read-from your peers.
The underlying wire stream is platform independent, lossless, and may be
used to interwork with a variety of languages and systems regardless of
word size or endianness.
