Overview ¶
Package protopack enables manual encoding and decoding of protobuf wire data.
This package is intended for use in debugging and/or creation of test data. Proper usage of this package requires knowledge of the wire format.
See https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding.

Types ¶
type Denormalized ¶
Denormalized is a denormalized varint value, where a varint is encoded using more bytes than is strictly necessary. The number of extra bytes alone is sufficient to losslessly represent the denormalized varint.
The value may be one of Tag, Bool, Varint, Svarint, or Uvarint, where the varint representation of each token is denormalized.
Alternatively, the value may be one of String, Bytes, or LengthPrefix, where the varint representation of the length-prefix is denormalized.
type Message ¶
type Message []Token
Message is an ordered sequence of Tokens, where certain tokens may contain other tokens. It is functionally a concrete syntax tree that losslessly represents any arbitrary wire data (including invalid input).
func (Message) Format ¶
Format implements a custom formatter to visualize the syntax tree. Using "%#v" formats the Message in Go source code.
func (Message) Marshal ¶
Marshal encodes a syntax tree into the protobuf wire format.
Example message definition:
message MyMessage {
string field1 = 1;
int64 field2 = 2;
repeated float32 field3 = 3;
}
Example encoded message:
b := Message{
Tag{1, BytesType}, String("Hello, world!"),
Tag{2, VarintType}, Varint(-10),
Tag{3, BytesType}, LengthPrefix{
Float32(1.1), Float32(2.2), Float32(3.3),
},
}.Marshal()
Resulting wire data:
0x0000 0a 0d 48 65 6c 6c 6f 2c 20 77 6f 72 6c 64 21 10 |..Hello, world!.| 0x0010 f6 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 01 1a 0c cd cc 8c 3f |...............?| 0x0020 cd cc 0c 40 33 33 53 40 |...@33S@|
func (*Message) Unmarshal ¶
Unmarshal parses the input protobuf wire data as a syntax tree. Any parsing error results in the remainder of the input being concatenated to the message as a Raw type.
Each tag (a tuple of the field number and wire type) encountered is inserted into the syntax tree as a Tag.
The contents of each wire type is mapped to the following Go types:
VarintType => Uvarint Fixed32Type => Uint32 Fixed64Type => Uint64 BytesType => Bytes GroupType => Message
Since the wire format is not self-describing, this function cannot parse sub-messages and will leave them as the Bytes type. Further manual parsing can be performed as such:
var m, m1, m2 Message m.Unmarshal(b) m1.Unmarshal(m[3].(Bytes)) m[3] = LengthPrefix(m1) m2.Unmarshal(m[3].(LengthPrefix)[1].(Bytes)) m[3].(LengthPrefix)[1] = LengthPrefix(m2)
Unmarshal is useful for debugging the protobuf wire format.
func (*Message) UnmarshalDescriptor ¶
func (m *Message) UnmarshalDescriptor(in []byte, desc protoreflect.MessageDescriptor)
UnmarshalDescriptor parses the input protobuf wire data as a syntax tree using the provided message descriptor for more accurate parsing of fields. It operates like Unmarshal, but may use a wider range of Go types to represent the wire data.
The contents of each wire type is mapped to one of the following Go types:
VarintType => Bool, Varint, Svarint, Uvarint Fixed32Type => Int32, Uint32, Float32 Fixed64Type => Uint32, Uint64, Float64 BytesType => String, Bytes, LengthPrefix GroupType => Message
If the field is unknown, it uses the same mapping as Unmarshal. Known sub-messages are parsed as a Message and packed repeated fields are parsed as a LengthPrefix.
type Number ¶
Number is the field number; aliased from the protowire package for convenience.
const ( MinValidNumber Number = protowire.MinValidNumber FirstReservedNumber Number = protowire.FirstReservedNumber LastReservedNumber Number = protowire.LastReservedNumber MaxValidNumber Number = protowire.MaxValidNumber )
Number type constants; copied from the protowire package for convenience.
type Type ¶
Type is the wire type; aliased from the protowire package for convenience.
const ( VarintType Type = protowire.VarintType Fixed32Type Type = protowire.Fixed32Type Fixed64Type Type = protowire.Fixed64Type BytesType Type = protowire.BytesType StartGroupType Type = protowire.StartGroupType EndGroupType Type = protowire.EndGroupType )
Wire type constants; copied from the protowire package for convenience.
