zebrapack
ZebraPack format is like gobs version 2: serialization in Go, *but* extremely fast and friendly to other languages. Use Go as your schema. Strong typing. Well documented (and msgpack2 compatible) format so other languages can be readily supported. See also https://github.com/glycerine/greenpack for a more recent alternative. Docs:
