It used to be an internal tool used by Google for passing serialized objects between applications. But frankly, reading through the introduction I don’t see what problem it tries to tackle that JSON can’t. I seriously doubt if PB is faster than JSON. Also, JSON is more generic and flexible than PB. Easier too. Perhaps PB as a project predates JSON. I see several having the same reactions as mine.

I am going to dig into documentations and discussions to make sense of the pros and cons of PB viz-a-viz JSON.
