You define how you want your data to be structured once. This takes the form of a template that describes the data structure. You use this template to encode/decode your data structure to/from wire-streams that may be sent-to or read-from your peers. The underlying wire stream is platform independent, lossless, and may be used to interwork with a variety of languages and systems regardless of word size or endianness. \end{abstract} \vfill \pagebreak \tableofcontents \vfill \vfill \newpage \input{protobufsoverview.tex} \input{protobufspl.tex} \printindex \end{document}
