On the following example, from the encoding page
(https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding) :
Strings
A wire type of 2 (length-delimited) means that the value is a varint
encoded length followed by the specified number of bytes of data.
message Test2 {
required string b = 2;
}
Setting the value of b to "testing" gives you:
12 07 74 65 73 74 69 6e 67
The red bytes are the UTF8 of "testing". The key here is 0x12 → tag = 2,
type = 2. The length varint in the value is 7 and lo and behold, we find
seven bytes following it – our string.
Isn't the first byte 18, instead of 12? 12 gives a tag=1, type=4, while 18
gives the expected result of tag=2, type=2.
Regards,
Felipe
