ProtoBuffer Input-Output Formatter for .Net Core (IMessage based)

[lkishor]

I am looking for a Formatter that supports Reading and Writing data from .cs files generated using .proto files.
But the only available option seems to be WebApiContrib.Core.Formatter.Protobuf which uses protbuf-net.
Is it possible to add another package that supports google's Protocol Buffers the way it is?

This is being done by Microsoft with gRPC, But I am thinking of a Middle-ground, where I continue to use Web API's, But with Contract based shared .proto files instead of JSON.
