Bug#1080349: ITP: golang-github-victoriametrics-easyproto -- simple building blocks for protobuf marshaling and unmarshaling



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Guillem Jover <gjover@sipwise.com>

* Package name    : golang-github-victoriametrics-easyproto
  Version         : 0.1.4-1
  Upstream Author : VictoriaMetrics
* URL             : https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/easyproto
* License         : Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : simple building blocks for protobuf marshaling and unmarshaling

 This package provides simple building blocks for marshaling and unmarshaling
 of protobuf messages with proto3 encoding.
 .
 Features
 .
  * there is no need for protoc or go generate; just write simple
    maintainable code for marshaling and unmarshaling protobuf messages.
  * does not increase your binary size by tens of megabytes unlike
    traditional protoc-combiled code may do.
  * allows writing zero-alloc code for marshaling and unmarshaling of
    arbitrary complex protobuf messages.
 .
 Restrictions
 .
  * It supports only proto3 encoding, e.g. it does not support proto2 encoding
    features such as proto2 groups.
  * It does not provide helpers for marshaling and unmarshaling of well-known
    types, since they are not used too much in practice.


This is a new dependency required by victori-metrics.

Thanks,
Guillem
