Protocol Buffer coder/decoder

Protobuf Codec

Protobuf-codec provides codec for protobuf and other data formats like xml/json. It is fast and relies on proven frameworks like jackson for json and woodstox for xml for parsing.

This library is listed under the protobuf third party addons page ( http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/ThirdPartyAddOns ) as "Another JSON encoder/decoder for Java"
