[protobuf] Re: Issue 316 in protobuf: TextFormat should have an option to ignore unknown fields
Updates: Status: WontFix Labels: -FixedIn-2.6.0 Comment #3 on issue 316 by jie...@google.com: TextFormat should have an option to ignore unknown fields http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=316 Sorry my mistake. We have decided not provide TextFormat for unknown fields. (2.5.0 has removed the support for c++ before release which I didn't notice, java will not support it either) Text format is designed for communicating with people whereas binary format is for communicating with machines. People make mistakes, like spelling errors. These mistakes should be caught, not silently ignored. Therefore, text format is NOT designed with the same forward- and backward-compatibility properties as the binary format, and should not be used when such compatibility is desired. If you find yourself wanting to ignore unknown fields when parsing a text-format message, you may want to rethink your design. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
