Summary

Proto Buffers is a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. It allows users to define data structures once and then use generated source code to easily write and read structured data across various data streams and programming languages. It is primarily used for defining communication protocols and data storage.

Rationale

Proto Buffers is a mechanism for serializing structured data, similar to JSON but smaller and faster, and generates native language bindings. It is a data format and a set of tools for defining and manipulating structured data, not a content publishing platform. Therefore, it does not align with any of the features of Medium, which is an online publishing platform.
