Yeah, a common stupid requirement. Perhaps a selling point for any solution would be to deploy a common serialization/de-serialization package that can be used on both the cloud and end point side.

Why? In IoT stuff, its very useful if you can talk to your devices via standard internet protocols, otherwise you have to introduce some pointless 'gateway' node for that.

I mean sometimes efficiency matters a lot, but a lot of other times, interoperability is more important.

Text based IO with microcontrollers over tty has been quite a standard thing even decades ago.
