Protocol Buffers

Protocol Buffers offers a robust solution for data interchange between applications written in different languages and running on different platforms. By defining data structures in .proto files, the protocol buffer compiler generates code for languages like Java, C++, Python, and Go, ensuring consistent data models. The efficient binary serialization format minimizes payload size and parsing overhead, leading to faster network transmission and lower latency. This makes it an excellent choice for building high-performance gRPC services, configuration files, and other scenarios requiring efficient, structured data communication.
