This is an interesting package:
http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/overview.html
It can be used for on-the-wire and for file formats. It is much more efficient than XML, and has multiple language API’s (e.g. easier to send a message between apps of different languages). It deals with versioning, and has automated class and serialization code generation.
I haven't used it yet. Any thoughts? How good is it for archive files/pack files? How good is its historical version handling wrt up-converting or semantic changes (like feet to meters)?
