  Description     : Better way to work with Protocol Buffers

 Buf’s long-term goal is to enable schema-driven development: a future
 where APIs are defined consistently, in a way that service owners and
 clients can depend on.
 .
 Defining APIs using an IDL (Interface Description Language) provides a
 number of benefits over simply exposing JSON/REST services, and today,
 Protobuf is the most stable, widely-adopted IDL in the industry.
 .
 However, as it stands, using Protobuf is much more difficult than using
 JSON as your data transfer format.
 .
 Enter Buf: We’re building tooling to make Protobuf reliable and easy to
 use for service owners and clients, while keeping it the obvious choice
 on the technical merits.
