Add example

Work with binary ProtoBuf messages based on https://sourceforge.net/projects/protobuf-delphi/files/ by marat1961 (sources have some modifications)

Main features:

  • generate classes, not records (like most other parsers)
  • cross-platform(???) realization

Limitations:

  • no comments in the middle of declaration:

    // this is correct
    message Sample { // this is correct
      // and this too
      repeated // this is NOT supported (comment in the middle of field declaration)
        sint32 Foo = 1;
      optional string FooString = 2; // this is correct
  • field types Any and OneOf not supported

  • reserved word extensions not supported

  • groups (deprecated feature) not supported

How to use

  • add root folder of this project to library path (Tools - Options - Delphi options - Library)
  • open ProtoBufGeneratorGroup.groupproj from root folder of this project
  • compile and run ProtoBufGenerator.exe
  • open .proto file(s) by press "Open" button
  • select directory for new generated .pas file(s) and press "Generate" button
  • add generated file to your project.

Do not use LoadFromBuf/SaveToBuf methods in generated classes! Use LoadFromStream and SaveToStream methods, which inherited from base class. See Example2, how to use generated classes.

ToDo:

  • add extensions (simple ignore directive, or - wrap to comment)
  • add tests with "original" ProtoBuf generated binary messages.
