An async, call-return-throw oriented protocol that sits above TCP

This protocol is aimed for applications that need to transmit a lot of structured data (like large arrays) from a client to a server.

The client can "call" a function in the server and get the result (or an exception).

This is a light-weight protocol that uses very little meta-data (when compared to JSON, for example). In order to do that, it requires that both endpoints (client and server) know the types of the arguments for each call/return/exception.

It's asynchronous protocol, so a client can send another call before all previous calls are answered. Also, the server doesn't need to answer the calls in order.

Initially, the API will be implemented in JavaScript (for Node.js). Afterwards, the client-side will be ported to JavaScript for browsers (with a WebSocket gate).
