Motivation

I wanted something lightweight and cross-platform for message serialization - a C++ implementation that works for embedded systems. Existing solutions like Embedded Proto and Cap’n Proto are not lightweight; they have a huge encoding burden.

I wanted to be able to create and parse messages directly in a buffer to reduce an extra copy step. MAVLink was the best option available, but sometimes a smaller header is important for low bandwidth links, and MAVLink doesn’t have the direct buffer feature mentioned above.

Struct Frame addresses these needs with a minimal footprint design optimized for embedded systems communication.
