Think JSON, except binary. Or think +Protocol Buffers, except faster. In fact, in benchmarks, Cap'n Proto +is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers. + +This benchmark is, of course, unfair. It is only measuring the time +to encode and decode a message in memory. Cap'n Proto gets a perfect +score because there is no encoding/decoding step. The Cap'n Proto +encoding is appropriate both as a data interchange format and an +in-memory representation, so once your structure is built, you can +simply write the bytes straight out to disk! |
