is there a Protobuf module

Post by RWLTOK » Mon Feb 08, 2021 11:14 pm

I am curious to know if there are any micropython protobuf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers) modules developed or are in development.

Thanks

Rich

Thanks Jmmmo,

This seems to be perfect. The implementation does not need to support proto files and all that is required is backwards compatibility with encoded data records encoded to the .proto file schema. Thanks to you Peter for the repository
https://github.com/peterhinch/micropyth ... ISATION.md you mentioned.

Many thanks.

I tested the protobuf implementation and had some discussions with its author to help him make it sure it played nicely with MicroPython. It struck me as very useful.
