 **Protocol Buffers** are a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols, data storage, and more, originally designed at Google ([see](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/)).
 
 **protobuf.js** is a pure JavaScript implementation with TypeScript support for node and the browser. It's super easy to use, blazingly fast and works out of the box on .proto files!
