I had to make a custom format because
SDL would have the same problem as JSON. I need to store the type, so key = value does not work and an object (that contains name = "thename", type = "thetype", value = "value") must be created for each property. The serialisation data become huge and is painfull to read.

not necessarily and i don't completely understand why you want to include the schema in each message. this is a lot of bloat. and once you need more complicated datastructures it will be hard anyway and you need manual glue code. e.g. `Dlist!string[] mylist = <here be dragons>`

i would go for protobufs, thrift or if you want something easy to parse then json maybe with json schema.

it was more or leass created for what you want.
- no object instantiation overhead
- instead of "factory" methods you just use the deserializer methods
