For handling versioning and efficient binary serialization there is also Avro (which stems from the Hadoop and Cassandra communities):
https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/ It works with a versioned schema embedded as a prefix of the blob that garantees backward compat with old versions (but you need to define schemas).
