MessagePack (http://msgpack.org/) is one of the choices for the
replacement of JSON. The speed of serialization/desirialization is very
fast and it supports C++, Python and more languages and platforms (of
course it runs on Windows). It is well-tested and used in various
products. Refer to the link to see the list of products:

MessagePack-RPC provides cross-language RPC functionality with
well-designed API. Its specification is documented at the link:
http://wiki.msgpack.org/display/MSGPACK/RPC+specification
Unfortunately, Python and C++ bindings are not yet production ready. The
main developer of MessagePack suggested me to use ZeroMQ or D-Bus in
conjunction with MessagePack for our purpose.

MessagePack and MessagePack-RPC are both licenced under the Apache 2.0
License.

Sincerely,
