Cap'n Proto 1.0
It’s been a little over ten years since the first release of Cap’n Proto, on April 1, 2013. Today I’m releasing version 1.0 of Cap’n Proto’s C++ reference implementation.
Cap'n Proto News
Cap’n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think Protocol Buffers , except faster. In fact, in benchmarks, Cap’n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.

Cap'n Proto 0.8: Streaming flow control, HTTP-over-RPC, fibers
It is commonly believed, wrongly, that Cap’n Proto doesn’t support “streaming”, in the way that gRPC does. In fact, Cap’n Proto’s object-capability model and promise pipelining make it much more expressive than gRPC. In Cap’n Proto, “streaming” is just a pattern, not a built-in feature.
