Protocol buffers works best with structured and predictable data. "object" sounds overly vague IMO. Most protocol buffers will not handle that; due to demand, I *do* have a feature in protobuf-net that might work for that, but it basically breaks all the interop benefits of protocol buffers. So it really depends on what your intention is.
I should emphasise: that scenario is *not* the intended purpose for my outside-the-spec extension. Indeed, for that code I'm thinking JSON might work better.
