For example:
message Person {
required string Name = 1;
required int32 Id = 2;
optional string Email = 3;
}
message Customers {
repeated Person People = 1;
}
The idea here is that you define the record type (a single line in your CSV
file)
and then create a type that contains a "collection" of that record type
In this case you define a record type for Person
and then a message called Customers which is a "collection" of Person
messages.
Hope this helps.
