Bond was a cross-platform framework from Microsoft for working with schematized data, supporting compact binary serialization protocols across languages like C++, C#, and Python. The open-source project officially ended in March 2025 and is now archived and read-only.
Use cases
- serialize structured data with compact binary protocols
- define schemas for cross-language data exchange
- replace protobuf-style serialization in C++ services
- generate code from schematized data definitions
- read existing Bond-encoded data streams
When to choose
- you need to read or maintain existing systems that already use Bond
- you need a stable, archived serialization library with no upgrade path required
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project needing long-term support and security fixes
- you need active community maintenance or bug fixes
- you want a serialization framework with ongoing ecosystem support - consider alternatives like protobuf or flatbuffers
