In fairness, in the list you link to, - Avro and Ion are the only two that are labeled Textual/Binary - They are in the same Big Data grouping - They both are schema-embedded, and support some rich nested datastructures, though they deviate on many of the specifics So I think it's reasonable to pick out Avro as an especially similar point of comparison.
