Description

Protocol Buffers is an open-source data serialization protocol developed by Google that allows data to be structured in a way that can be sent and received in a compact, efficient, and platform-independent manner. It is a binary format created to serialize structured data, taking up much less space than textual formats such as XML. Protocol Buffers is based on a language-neutral approach, meaning it can be used in any programming language that supports it. Protocol Buffers can be used to serialize data for communication over networks, storage, or other applications. It can also be used to generate APIs for web services and mobile applications. Protocol Buffers is an important component of many distributed systems, as it allows for faster data serialization and deserialization.
