Use protocol buffers! As easy to use as JSON in dynamic languages, gives you strongly-typed accessors in static languages.


Yeah... no. I'm not a big code gen guy.

But the google people seem to love them, so I'm probably in the minority.

Me either! Which is why I'm working on a high-performance Protocol Buffer library that does not do code generation: https://github.com/haberman/upb/wiki


Excellent readme for that project. It details several issues of which I wasn't aware.

Thanks for that.

(edit: It wasn't the readme, it was the wiki page. Still, excellent documentation.)
