minimalist protocol buffer decoder and encoder in C++

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Protozero is a minimalistic protocol buffer decoder and encoder in C++. Designed for high performance. Suitable for writing zero copy parsers and encoders with minimal need for run-time allocation of memory. Low-level: this is designed to be a building block for writing a very customized decoder for a stable protobuf schema. If your protobuf schema is changing frequently or lazy decoding is not critical for your application then this approach offers no value: just use the C++ API that can be generated with the Google Protobufs 'protoc' program.
