Google Protocol Buffers: JavaScript Example

by

[edit] Google’s open source implementation of protocol buffers is available on github

The official protobuf project support only Java, C++, and Python. Not Javascript.

According to the Wiki of the project, there are three projects porting protocol buffers to Javascript.

Protobuf.js is up-to-date.
protobuf-js has not been updated for two years, so I would favor Protobuf.js.

The question still is “Why”?: protobuf may be a bit smaller, especially when a lot of numeric values are transferred, but JSON is simply the more common protocol in the JS space and probably better supported and easier to integrate into other tools.
