I like protobufs. I've only ever used them as a serialization format for save and map files for some C# games that I tinker away at, but I've been pretty happy using protobuf-net[1]. File size is smaller than JSON produced by JSON.NET or using the built-in binary serializer, much less XML. And it couldn't be much easier to use.
