- ![ProtoBuf.js - Protocol Buffers for JavaScript. Finally.](https://raw.github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/master/ProtoBuf.png)
- =====================================
- **Protocol Buffers** are a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use
- in communications protocols, data storage, and more, originally designed at Google ([see](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview)).
-
- **ProtoBuf.js** is a pure JavaScript implementation on top of [ByteBuffer.js](https://github.com/dcodeIO/ByteBuffer.js)
- including a .proto parser, message class building and simple encoding and decoding. There is no compilation step
- required, it's super easy to use and it works out of the box on .proto files!

- Getting started
- ---------------
- * **Step 1:** Become familar with [Google's Protocol Buffers (protobuf)](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview)
- * **Step 2:** Head straight to [our wiki for up to date usage information, changes and examples](https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/wiki)
- * **Step 3:** Build something cool! :-)
-
- Features
- --------
