Is anyone using Google protocol buffers in large scale production applications?

Question

Is anyone using Google's protocol buffers in large scale applications in production. What is the experience that people have had?

Answer 1

BTW Apache ActiveMQ 6 will probably be using Protocol Buffers as its default marshalling layer. Early experiences are very favourable; as its easy to have each endpoint on different versions and yet still be able to parse the binary protocol - plus it seems very fast. A great alternative to JSON/XML when you need a performance boost
