Protocol Buffers (protobuf) are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format.
There's plugin for Netbeans, but I cannot find one for Eclipse. Does it exist? If yes, please, share the link.
Thanks.

The official protobuf project support only Java, C++, and Python. Not Javascript. According to the Wiki of the project, there are three projects porting protocol buffers to Javascript.
Protobuf supports more data types than JSON. JSON is limited to certain python objects, and it cannot serialize every python object. Protobuf supports a wider range of data types when compared to JSON. For example, enumerations and methods are supported by Protobuf and not supported by JSON.
I recommend using Google's "Protocol Buffers Development Tools". It is a plugin for Eclipse that features automagic regeneration and error checking with quick fixes, among other things. It's available here: https://github.com/google/protobuf-dt/blob/master/README.md .

It does not seem to be approved by Eclipse yet.
And the EMF project uses protobuf, but not as a plugin.
So for now, no there do not seem to be any Eclipse protobuf plugin.
