|
// # Binary serialization
|
|
//
|
|
// This package contains functions to convert to and from the wire format,
|
|
// an efficient binary serialization of protocol buffers.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Size] reports the size of a message in the wire format.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Marshal] converts a message to the wire format.
|
|
// The [MarshalOptions] type provides more control over wire marshaling.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Unmarshal] converts a message from the wire format.
|
|
// The [UnmarshalOptions] type provides more control over wire unmarshaling.
|
|
//
|
|
// # Basic message operations
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Clone] makes a deep copy of a message.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Merge] merges the content of a message into another.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Equal] compares two messages. For more control over comparisons
|
|
// and detailed reporting of differences, see package
|
|
// [google.golang.org/protobuf/testing/protocmp].
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Reset] clears the content of a message.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [CheckInitialized] reports whether all required fields in a message are set.
|
|
//
|
|
// # Optional scalar constructors
|
|
//
|
|
// The API for some generated messages represents optional scalar fields
|
|
// as pointers to a value. For example, an optional string field has the
|
|
// Go type *string.
|
|
//
|
|
// - [Bool], [Int32], [Int64], [Uint32], [Uint64], [Float32], [Float64], and [String]
|
|
// take a value and return a pointer to a new instance of it,
|
|
// to simplify construction of optional field values.
|
|
//
|
|
// Generated enum types usually have an Enum method which performs the
|
|
// same operation.
|
|
//
|
|
// Optional scalar fields are only supported in proto2.
|
|
//
|
|
// # Extension accessors
|
|
//
|
|
// - [HasExtension], [GetExtension], [SetExtension], and [ClearExtension]
|
|
// access extension field values in a protocol buffer message.
|
|
//
|
|
// Extension fields are only supported in proto2.
|
|
//
|

|
// - Package [google.golang.org/protobuf/encoding/protojson] converts messages to
|
|
// and from JSON.
|
|
//
|
|
// - Package [google.golang.org/protobuf/encoding/prototext] converts messages to
|
|
// and from the text format.
|
|
//
|
|
// - Package [google.golang.org/protobuf/reflect/protoreflect] provides a
|
|
// reflection interface for protocol buffer data types.
|
|
//
|
|
// - Package [google.golang.org/protobuf/testing/protocmp] provides features
|
|
// to compare protocol buffer messages with the [github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp]
|
|
// package.
|
|
//
|
|
// - Package [google.golang.org/protobuf/types/dynamicpb] provides a dynamic
