\begin{abstract}
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/decode your data
structure to/from 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.
