cloudstreet-dev/Binary-Serialization-Survey

A working engineer's guide to the binary serialization landscape. Covers Protobuf, Thrift, Avro, CBOR, MessagePack, FlatBuffers, Cap'n Proto, SBE, Arrow, Parquet, ASN.1, Borsh, and more. Organized by the tradeoffs each format makes, not popularity. Every chapter ends with a hex wire tour of the same record.
