Do you know of a robust, free, ideally open source, web service that uses protobuf.
I maintain an Android library for networking and I write samples for every module. For instance, the JSON modules use Github apis to get some data from the network and illustrate the client library usage.
Do you know an equivalent for protobuf ?
Thanks in advance.

Simple to use − Protobuf library auto-generates serialization code (as we will see in the upcoming chapters), has a versioning scheme to ensure that the creator of data and the user of data can have separate versions of the serialization definition, etc. Let's take a look how other ways to transfer data over a network stack up against Protobuf.
For example, if we want, we can add a Visitors message/class as well in the same file. Protobuf would ensure to create two separate and independent classes for the same. For example − syntax = "proto3"; package theater; option java_package = "com.tutorialspoint.theater"; message Theater { } message Visitor { }
In protocol-buffers, .proto files are usually the text-based schema DSL that describes messages, not data; however, it is possible that these files do indeed contain the binary data instead (just... unusual). Double-check the files : if they look like:
In our project, we leverage from a binary protocol such as gRPC and extend the use of Protobuf (IDL) for external-facing APIs based on HTTP protocol. From the Google Protocol Buffer website:
Your protobuf module could use this api to access from the android market place:
