Written as a pure computer interchange format for language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols and data storage.
BeerProto follows the structure of BeerJSON and can take advantages of the official code generating plugins for protocol buffers given support for C++, C#, Dart, Go, Java, Python, Ruby, Objective C, PHP and JavaScript as well as third part plugins such as Swift.
You can also use the Proto3 supports for canonical encoding in JSON, making it easier to share data in a human readable way.
Interoperability with BeerJSON can be achieved, but does require the conversion of the enumerators between int32's and strings and handling non nullables properties.
