# Protocol Buffers for Nim
A pure Nim library for dealing with protobuf serialization and deserialization. A `protoc` plugin is also included which can be used for generating Nim code, usable by the library, from `.proto` files.
At the moment this is at a very rough state. Do not use for any kind of production use. Anything can change at any time. You've been warned.
# Example
Given the following file:
```
syntax = "proto3";
message Test1 {
int32 a = 1;
}
```
The `protoc` plugin will basically generate the following code:
```nim
const
Test1Desc = MessageDesc(
name: "Test1",
fields: @[
FieldDesc(
name: "a",
number: 1,
ftype: FieldType.Int32,
label: FieldLabel.Optional,
typeName: "",
packed: false
)
]
)
generateMessageType(Test1Desc)
generateMessageProcs(Test1Desc)
```
And you can use it like this:
```nim
let message = newTest1()
setA(message, 150)
let pbso = newProtobufStream(newFileStream(stdout))
writeTest1(pbso, message)
```
