I am considering moving over from JSON to Protocol Buffers for my data intensive applications. However, one thing that I really need and can't find information about is the feature of 'null' or 'nodata' inside a repeated field.
Suppose I have a large vector with booleans with observations, however some of these are unobserved / not set. In JSON I would be able to do something like this: { "observations" : [ true, false, false, null, null, true, true, true ] } This way the correct indices of the array are preserved when the object is serialized and then unserialized. Is there a similar 'null' notion when encoding "observations" as a "repeated bool" in protocol buffers? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
