Meeting #1 - 01/12/14
- Serialization protocol
It has been discussed to use MessagePack for many reasons, including
- No need of an external compiler
- Support for many languages (including Python, Javascript, our main need ATM)
- Ease of deployment
- Performance
Leaving that aside, we noticed that Profobuf has been chosen for the POC and we looked into it. Regarding this benchmark [0], MsgPack could perform slightly better than ProtoBuf (we should check it again given that this article is of 2011). We also got some similar opinions regarding Protobuf during the summit.
Is there any reason you chose Protobuf over other alternatives like MessagePack?
We are also looking into PSON [1]
