  Description     : Cap'n Proto: a fast data interchange format &
capability-based RPC system.

Similar to Protocol Buffers, Cap'n Proto is an efficient means of
serializing structured data to be transferred across a network or
written to disk. Users write a Cap'n Proto definition file that
drives a code generator, which in turn emits C++ code for encoding &
decoding messages in the Cap'n Proto format.

In addition to being extremely fast, Cap'n Proto also smooths over some
of the rougher aspects of Protocol Buffers & introduces a number of new
features to boot.

Cap'n Proto is actively maintained by the primary author of Protocol
Buffers v2, Kenton Varda.
