Can someone point me in the direction of the latest thinking on these serialisations? Are they destined to become parts of FHIR in the future?

Ask this question in https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/73-analytics-on.20FHIR stream

JSON-LD has been discussed before. Protobuf is cool and Google has a great FHIR project around it. Protobuf is more about performance and developer convenience than the data itself. You don't really see public-facing protobuf APIs outside of Google. For those reasons, I think there's nothing stopping someone from doing FHIR over protobuf, but it would never be part of the core spec.
Lloyd McKenzie (Oct 19 2018 at 15:01):
Never is a long time... JSON-LD is already in the core spec, though a long way from normative. Others may be added over time if/when the community decides there's a need.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 19 2018 at 20:30):
JSON-LD is not in the core spec and is extremely unlikely to ever be so
Grahame Grieve (Oct 19 2018 at 20:32):
protobuf... probably not. instead it seems likely to me that we'll define a storage schema for FHIR. protobuf, json, and DDL (sql) will be a transform away from that schema
Lloyd McKenzie (Oct 19 2018 at 20:33):
Sorry. I got ND-JSON and JSON-LD confused
