Bebop

No ceremony, just code.
Blazing fast, typesafe binary serialization.

Introduction

Bebop is a high-performance data interchange format designed for fast serialization and deserialization.

        
// Example Bebop Schema
struct Person {
  string name;
  uint32 age;
}
        
      

        
// Generated TypeScript Code
new Person({
    name: "Spike Spiegel",
    age: 27
}).encode();
        
      

It combines the simplicity of JSON with the efficiency of binary formats, delivering exceptional performance. In benchmarks, Bebop outperforms Protocol Buffers by approximately 10 times in both C# and TypeScript. Compared to JSON, Bebop is roughly 10 times faster in C# and about 5 times faster in TypeScript.

Bebop provides a modern, developer-friendly experience while ensuring top-notch performance. It is the ideal choice for any application that requires efficient data serialization, especially in performance-critical scenarios.
