< p > So let's say you're in need of a binary serialization format. Data will be going over the network,
not just in memory, so having a schema document and code generation is a must. Performance is
crucial, so formats that support zero-copy de/serialization are given priority. And the more
languages supported, the better; I use Rust, but can't predict what other languages this could
interact with.< / p >
