+This project hosts the Go implementation for protocol buffers, which is
+a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for
+serializing structured data. The protocol buffer language is a language
+for specifying the schema for structured data. This schema is compiled
+into language specific bindings. This project provides both a tool to
+generate Go code for the protocol buffer language, and also the runtime
+implementation to handle serialization of messages in Go.
