Goal

To determine if we could use json descriptors of protobufjs as internal format for processing proto files in APIHUB.

Pay special attention to:

  • comments handling
  • back conversion (from json descriptors to proto files)

Samples

Original samples are in the proto folder.

Corresponding json descriptors are in the json folder.

Results of back conversion from json descriptors to proto files are in the proto_from_json folder.

Process

To reproduce conversion from scratch:

  • run npm install to install protobufjs-cli
  • use proto2json.sh <source_directory> <target_directory> to convert proto files to json descriptors
  • use json2proto.sh <source_directory> <target_directory> to convert json descriptors to proto files

Note that currently pbjs CLI tool does not support handling comments during conversion (although comments handling is supported by core library). Use convert-with-comments.js script to see how proto files with comments is converted (e.g. 07-comments sample). The downside is that the script does not support dependencies handling- e.g. google packages (although it is supported by pbjs tool). So, in scope of prototypes it is either dependency handled correcty (using pbjs or comments handled correctly convert-with-comments.js).
