In plain words

Cap'n Proto is a data serialization format and RPC system created by the former maintainer of Protocol Buffers. It enables efficient communication and storage of structured data with minimal overhead. The system is designed for developers who need fast, reliable data exchange between applications. Cap'n Proto emphasizes speed and simplicity in serialization, offering an alternative approach to other data format standards.

    If you work in C++, and you would like 2+ programs to share data structures (and/or native I/O handles a.k.a. FDs) among each other, there is a good chance Flow-IPC - will make it considerably less annoying to code than typical approaches; and - may massively reduce the latency involved. Those sharing Cap'n Proto-encoded data may have particular interest. Cap'n Proto (https://capnproto.org) is fantastic at its core task - in-place serialization with zero-copy - and we wanted to make the IPC (inter-process communication) involving capnp-serialized messages be zero-copy,…
