A problem we're finding with those is the massive runtime dependency you get trying to include protobuf in browser.

In that case json can be used as an addon. An optional input/output that a number of protobuff libraries support.

One should keep schema in protocol buffers and encourage its use for all but browsers.

The minimal parser seems to be 6.5kb, which seems significantly smaller than most of other JS dependencies apps use these days.

We make dependencies, so staying small is more important for us than for end-users.
