Protocol Buffers, also known as Protobuf, is a language-agnostic data serialization format developed by Google. It serves as an interface description language (IDL) for APIs that is both platform-neutral and language-neutral. Protocol Buffers provide a compact and efficient way to define structured data using a simple language. Developers can define the schema of their data in a .proto file, which can then be used to generate source code in multiple programming languages.
