Currently one of my apps is sending JSON files to a server, with a
structure similar to this:
{
"document_name": "doc 1",
"document_type": "pdf",
"content": BASE64_ENCODED_PDF
}
Where BASE64_ENCODED_PDF is an binary file that must be converted to
base64 to be included into a json field.
The base64 encoding/decoding carries both processor and transfer size
overhead, compared to a binary protocol.
Of course I could have created my own proprietary protocol, but I have
some constraints, for example, the sender is a Java application, and the
receiver is a FreePascal one, so, using a "standard" protocol, like
Google's Protocol Buffers seems to fit very well in this particular
scenario.
