// Package proto provides functions operating on protocol buffer messages.

// # 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.
|
|
//

|
|
// and from JSON.
