I've been working on a general purpose binary and text encoding format for some time now as a personal project. It supports time, decimal floats, binary blobs as first-class citizens, supports comments, and focuses on encoding the most commonly used values more compactly. The binary format [1] is almost done (I've come up with a more compact date representation that I'll be adding this weekend to replace smalltime in the C and go implementations), and the text format isn't far behind. I almost had a better floating point compression format, but it turned out to be too complicated, and only works well for decimal floating point, so I'll probably not use it in CBE.
