Protocol buffers are a language-agnostic way of specifying message structures to allow communication and serialization.
dproto is designed to enable mixing protocol buffer files into your D code at compile time.
Inspiration and a good portion of the original parser is adapted from square/protoparser
dproto supports altering behavior via protobuf options:
| Option | Meaning | Example | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
dproto_reserved_fmt |
The format for renaming reserved D keywords as fields. | "%s_" will convert version to version_ |
"%s_" |
Examples can be found in import/dproto/dproto.d and in examples/.
