A library for adding some usability tools for working with protobuf
Project description
Purpose
To ease editing and reading protocol buffer files
It provides easy interface to encode/decode proto files
Installation
This package can be pip installed
pip install protobuf_tools
Usage
Python
you can import it in your library as
from protobuf_tools import proto_utils
protobuftools
To use to read/decode any proto files please use the script utility protobuftools If you do not provide the –proto_path it defaults to the working directory
##### For help use
protobuftools -h
##### To use json for decode or encode use -json flag
##### For enabling all fields to be part of decode use –allfields
##### For decoding a protobuf file to more human readable form
protobuftools “<path_to_proto_stream_file>” –proto_path “<optional - provide path to where _pb2 files are>” –decode=message_name –allfields -json
#### To display instead of writing to file
protobuftools “<path_to_proto_stream_file>” –proto_path “<optional - provide path to where _pb2 files are>” –decode=message_name –allfields -json -d
##### For encoding - To convert from json/text to protobuf file, output is a file with .protoout extension
protobuftools “<path_to_file(.json/.txt etc) from above” –proto_path “<optional - provide path to where _pb2 files are>” –encode=message_name -json
