Hi all, I'm working on a project that involves two layers: one is written in C++ and the other one in Javascript. The C++ layer contains the model of the application in form of a tree in a similar way as HTML does (nothing really complicated, just elements with attributes).
The interaction between these two layers is done using JSON. We manually implement the classes that serialize/deserialize JSON requests/responses and it is becoming a waste of time (plus the impact in maintenance). I was thinking about using protocol buffers to describe our model in terms of .proto files and then write a layer that automatically performs the serialization/deserialization to/from JSON according to our schemas. I started to look at protocol buffers recently so I might be asking something stupid. My question is: is protobuf the right choice to represent our data model when: 1. the model consists of hierarchy of classes. 2. a model instance is a tree (objects are connected creating a tree structure) 3. the model not static: these tree suffer changes (tree operations like add/delete/move/update nodes, etc.) Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
