Module std::encoding::protobuf

Protocol Buffers message construction.

Build and inspect Protocol Buffers messages using a field-number based API. Supports string and varint (integer) fields.

Note: Encoding/decoding to wire format and byte-typed field operations (set_bytes, get_bytes) require byte array support not yet available in Hew.

Examples

import std::encoding::protobuf;

fn main() {
    let msg = protobuf.new();
    msg.set_varint(1, 42);
    msg.set_string(2, "hello");
    let val = msg.get_string(2);
    println(val);
    msg.free();
}

Created by protobuf.new(). Fields are accessed by their field number. Must be freed with free() when no longer needed.
