I have a use case where I need to dynamically read a .proto definition and
deserialize a byte array of matching message. I scoured the internet does
anyone have a working example. I am writing a kafka plugin that filters
messages and uses a schema registry to store and retrieve proto files.
I am currently trying to implement a protobuf parser but it's a bit unclear
to me how I should interpret some parts of the specification.
Lets start with RPC option. Options for normal fields and enum fields are
pretty clear.
Here's the specification for normal fields:
field = [ "repeated" ]
protobuf ensures that the *value of primitives* will be preserved; so if
you send the uint32 23433451, it will be decoded as 23433451 regardless of
the CPU/process endianness of sender and receiver. The details are
here: https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/encoding/ - but they **don't
An integer sent from one machine to another will preserve its value
regardless of the endianness of either machine. If you wish to attach
additional semantic meaning to that integer by using it to encode an ipv4
address then you need to take the appropriate steps to translate the local
value to
What happens if a uint32_t is sent from little endian system and received
by bit endian system. For eg: An Ipv4 address. Can we send the IP address
in any byte order and be able to see the same value in receiver of a
different endian machine? If thats the case, I dont see any documentation
for
