Binary serialization protocol

I have a requirement when I need to transfer information through a wire (binary code via tcp) between two applications. One of them is in Java, and the other is in C ++. I need a protocol implementation to transfer objects between these two applications. Object classes are present in both applications (correspondingly mapped). I just need a coding scheme on the one hand, which stores the Object representation on the one hand and can be decoded on the other hand as a complete object.

For instance,

C ++ class

class Person
{
   int age;
   string name;
};

Java class

class Person
{
   int age;
   String name;
}

C ++ - coding

Person p;
p.age = 20;
p.name = "somename";
char[] arr = SomeProtocolEncoder.encode(p);
socket.send(arr);

Java decoding

byte[] arr = socket.read();
SomeProtocolIntermediateObject object = SomeProtocolDecoder.decode(arr);
Person p = (Person)ReflectionUtil.get(object);

The protocol should provide some intermediate object that maintains the representative state of the object, so that using reflection I can return the object later.

    //Add a child string object
    object->addPacket("This is the Automated Message Exchange Format Object property!!","adasd");

    AMEFDecoder decoder = new AMEFDecoder()
    AMEFObject object1 = AMEFDecoder.decode(arr,true);

Some libraries also provide C ++ serialization. I have personally ported Python Construct to Java. If you have any interest, I will be happy to start a conversion project in C ++ and / or JavaScript!
