The native wire format of protocol buffers is just a sequence of
bytes, so it can contain values that are invalid UTF-8 (or any
encoding that has invalid byte sequences). Trying to pack that into
You can use TextFormat but it is probably *less* efficient than base64.

Strings contain text, not arbitrary bytes. Encoded protocol buffers are
arbitrary bytes, not text. So, they aren't compatible. You would need to
do something like base-64 encode the data in order to put it in a String.
