Great to see this getting started! 💯
Why not define the binary format using protobuf IDL instead of inventing some custom encoding? |
I got a recommendation to not define it as protobuf as it's proprietary protocol/tech. That's said proposed format is basically how it will look in protobuf. |
You just got another recommendation :-) Should we have a vote then? There are many binary format specs out there. I think it would be best if we pick one rather than come up with a custom n+1 spec. There's nothing wrong with having the format defined by a widely used spec imo, it does not force the implementation in any way. |
Before voting - do you agree that we should provide binary encoding rules that basically copies proto algorithm as not everybody can take dependency on proto? Also I tried to do it with proto and it feels like an overkill. For instance, instead of What other binary format specs you can suggest? |
