King JSON

Seems like we here are agreeing to switch from our fixed binary data packet format to JSON. Can't believe my eyes.

Just yesterday we discussed adding optional nvpairs to the tail of the packet; I did not think I could sell JSON to the guys. Now kaboom, turns out there are just 3 stakeholders, and we all have the same opinion. Fuck the others.

Well, if efficiency is the issue, you could have switched to Google protocols. Or to whatever else similar and open source.

Having had an experience with protocol buffers... they do have an advantage that they are multi-language. What I still don't like there is their Java implementation... rather, Java classes design. One bad bug was fixed, but the architecture still sucks.

Ok. I think most designs have flaws.
