Protobuf implementation in Rust.
- Written in pure rust
- Generates rust code
- Has runtime library support for generated code (Coded{Input|Output}Stream impl)
- Supports both Protobuf versions 2 and 3
- and more
Documentation is hosted on docs.rs.
Version 3 is current stable version. Compared to version 2 it implements:
- runtime reflection
- JSON and text format parsing and printing
- dynamic messages (messages which can be created from
.protofile on the fly without code generation)
Version is previous stable version. Only most critical bugfixes will be applied to 2.x version, otherwise it won't be maintained.
The crate needs help:
- testing
- documentation
- examples to be used as documentation
- feedback on API design
- feedback on implementation
- pull requests
- a new maintainer
See CHANGELOG.md for a list of changes and compatility issues between versions.
- prost — another protobuf implementation in Rust, also has gRPC implementation
- quick-protobuf — alternative protobuf implementation in Rust
- grpc-rs — another gRPC implementation for Rust
- grpc-rust — incomplete implementation of gRPC based on this library
