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.

This package contains a small suite of tools for developing & maintaining your Cap'n Proto schema files, including a code generator for compiling your schema files to supported languages.
