MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. But it's faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.
Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack. This document obsoletes RFC 7049, providing editorial improvements, new details, and errata fixes while keeping full compatibility with the interchange format of RFC 7049. It does not create a new version of the format.
Protocol Buffers
Protocol Buffers are language-neutral, platform-neutral extensible mechanisms for serializing structured data.

JSON Meta Application Protocol Specification (JMAP)
JMAP is the open protocol that replaces IMAP (and CardDAV and CalDAV). It’s faster, simpler, more powerful, and built for how email works today.

A delightful language with friendly error messages, great performance, small assets, and no runtime exceptions.
Engineering High-Performance Parsers with Data-Oriented Design
Notes from building Yuku: the AST is flat arrays of u32 indices instead of a pointer tree, and memory layout, allocation, strings, unicode, and serialization all follow from that one decision.
Investigation into Message Layer Security (MLS)
This article investigates Message Layer Security (MLS), the IETF standard protocol (RFC 9420) for Signal-style end-to-end encryption. Through a practical analysis of OpenMLS (the Rust reference implementation) and a demonstration CLI chat application (mls-chat), the post reveals the substantial gap between protocol specification and production deployment. Introduction MLS (Message Layer …
Dictionary Compression is finally here, and it's ridiculously good
Dictionary compression could completely change how applications send data over the web. It's recently gained broad support, and offers absurd real-world...

What i find interesting about this article is not the realization that MPI is like email, but the reverse, that human collaboration using messages is like MPI. The suggestion to use SMTP as a transport for things much more complex than emails is something worth looking at. It relates to my belief that the instant messaging difference does not come from the new protocols like XMPP for jabber, but from the new client interface that facilitates short messages in a conversational style. SMTP is equally (if not more) capable of transporting these messages. Sure, SMTP is not designed for "instant" messaging. but todays use of SMTP where my local SMTP server talks directly to your SMTP server, makes email is just as instant.
XMPP - The universal messaging standard
XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, a set of open technologies for instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data.

Maddy Mail Server implements all functionality required to run a e-mail server. It can send messages via SMTP (works as MTA), accept messages via SMTP (works as MX) and store messages while providing access to them via IMAP. In addition to that it implements auxiliary protocols that are mandatory to keep email reasonably secure (DKIM, SPF, DMARC, DANE, MTA-STS).
storekey - Rust
Binary serialization library for Rust values which preserves lexicographic sort order. Order-preserving encoding is useful for creating keys for sorted key-value stores with byte string typed keys, such as leveldb and sled.
MessagePort - Web APIs | MDN
The MessagePort interface of the Channel Messaging API represents one of the two ports of a MessageChannel, allowing messages to be sent from one port and listening out for them arriving at the other.
