ProtoBuf.js protoify example
|
|
============================
|
|
This example shows the general usage of ProtoBuf.js by converting JSON structures to protocol buffers and vice versa
|
|
using a definition describing JSON itself. While this works as an example, it does not provide any real world benefits
|
|
(well, this is if you are not building a protobuf-backed database for JSON data, using inter-field substitution to
|
|
minimize redundancy - nevermind, forget that).
|
|
|
|
Instructions
|
|
------------
|
|
1. Set up dependencies: `npm install`
|
|
2. Run: `npm test`
|
|
|
|
Now you know no more and no less than that it works and you might want to inspect the following files to get the 'how':

* **[index.js](https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/blob/master/examples/protoify/index.js)**
|
|
contains the sample's source code
|
|
|
|
* **[json.proto](https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/blob/master/examples/protoify/json.proto)**
|
|
contains the protobuf definition used
|
|
|
|
* **[json.json](https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/blob/master/examples/protoify/json.json)**
|
|
contains the protobuf definition converted through `proto2js json.proto > json.json`
|
|
|
|
* **[json.js](https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/blob/master/examples/protoify/json.js)**
|
|
contains the protobuf definition converted through `proto2js json.proto -commonjs=js > json.js`
|
