# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
|
|
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
|
|
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
|
|
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
|
|
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
|
|
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

protobuf: Protocol buffers are a flexible, efficient, automated mechanism for
|
|
protobuf: serializing structured data, think XML, but smaller, faster, and
|
|
protobuf: simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once,
|
|
protobuf: then you can use special generated source code to easily write and
|
|
protobuf: read your structured data to and from a variety of data streams
|
|
protobuf: and using a variety of languages. You can even update your data
|
|
protobuf: structure without breaking deployed programs that are compiled
|
|
protobuf: against the "old" format.
