MessagePack might be nice. It is pretty well specified, has a fairly

there aren't really any enforcements of string encodings and
everything is treated as an array of bytes.
AFAIK - this is no longer true in terms of the spec (I do not know what
the state of the various implementations is). There was a bunch of
discussion around type encoding about a year ago as part of a push to
prepare for an eventual IETF submission.
https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#type-system
The current MsgPack spec-version does not have embedded encoding
specified, but they are working on it.
We would simply have our own rules on top of MsgPack - say JSON semantics.
