Perhaps we could consider MessagePack because it is supported by many languages and it seems simpler. From what I get we do not need external compilers (like protoc) or awful native library (the java library for HDF5 uses native code and it is extremely low level).

If you getting into JSON-like stuff, why not BSON then? I've been using it for awhile with MongoDB stuff.
