prophy: fast serialization protocol

Prophy is a statically typed, binary, unpacked serialization protocol. See examples to get started quickly.

It has a schema language, specified wire representation and compiler which generates codecs in Python and C++ [full, raw].

It’s similar to XDR, ASN.1, Google Protobuf, Apache Thrift and Cap’n Proto.
