Set of tools for manipulating bits and byte-arrays quickly and efficently. There's nothing earth shattering, though it does saves pages of monkey-work pushing bytes around.
Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format. Google uses Protocol Buffers for almost all of its internal RPC protocols and file formats.
AqlaSerializer is intended to serialize objects, not just data.
What the difference? Data serializers don't care much about language runtime specifics like references, inheritance, etc. In contrast, an object serializer should take such things into account.
