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

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
