Protocol Buffers for Server-Driven UI: A Practical Guide
Why Protobuf for SDUI?
Server-Driven UI (SDUI) systems rely on a backend sending a tree of UI components that the client renders dynamically. Most implementations use JSON as the transport format. While JSON is human-readable and flexible, it comes with performance costs that matter in mobile environments: verbose payloads, ambiguous types, and expensive parsing.
