Fast Encoding Using Pre-serialization Protocol Buffers is a popular serialization mechanism with implementations available for most major languages that allows to easily model complex data structures and has good performance characteristics. However, for performance critical applications one always wishes for faster encoding and decoding, especially when the application performs minimal processing and serialization dominates the performance profile. This post shows how it is possible to increase encoding and decoding speed several times for certain special cases.
