Not so. Protocol buffers is just a TLV encoding, which is bad (see elsewhere in this thread) -- it's just a cut-down ASN.1 and variation on BER, so what.
ASN.1 can "well-version" everything just as well as anything else.
- bri3d 5y agoIf I have two "proto3" implementations using the same definitions, I trust they work together, generally speaking. If I have two ASN.1 BER implementations, I sadly can't really trust they work together, because I don't know what parts of "ASN.1" each one implemented.
