Protocol buffers is language and platform independent, so yes: you can
share data happily without worrying about what each is.
However, it is a serialisation layer *only*. It does not include RPC etc.
If you want to get data from a to b, it is fine. Anything to do with
relaying function calls you would need to write on top of that.

as i understood protocol buffer, it can support many languages such
that serializing and de-serializing happens same language, example server
and client should remain in C++ only , if i use protocol buffer c++ unit to
share data? OR Server and client can remain in different lang and still
share data?
correct me if i am wrong here. i am looking for some solution where beyond
data that is being stored/shared, function calls that are made from one
language can be executed over network in one of the supported solutions.
example.
typical real life system involve C++, C# and Java built components talking
across. but since they cant understand each other directly, the most they
can communicate is via data. i think protocol buffer helps here.
(if my above questions answer is yes).
also if i want to make another function call from C# component to C++
component , currently COM dll achieves it via marshelling/unmarshelling and
achieves the same. can we extend protocol buffer to this level or support
up to this level already exist with protocol buffer advance features?
to me it seems possible by exposing function of the solutions registered
under some compilation unit by tagging them and availing results back from
function in protocol buffer objects format.
exmple all functions tagged for exposure from Java code, are exposed as
some global namespace object and protocol buffer compiler should accept
call from C++ code or C# code and vice versa call can happen.
