Introduction

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

<table> <tr> <td> <pre lang="c"> <code> // Example Bebop Schema struct Person { string name; uint32 age; } </code> </pre> </td> <td> <pre lang="typescript"> <code> // Generated TypeScript Code new Person({ name: "Spike Spiegel", age: 27 }).encode(); </code> </pre> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Write concise and expressive schemas with Bebop's intuitive syntax.</td> <td>Using a generated class to persist data.</td> </tr> </table>

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.
