Not supported

[tafia]

List of items not supported for the moment (that I found, it may not be exhaustive)

• imports (Imports #24)
• package (Support protobuf packages #25)
• option (ignored when parsed)
• nested types (Support Nested messages #26, Fix multiple nested levels #30, Nested enums #32)
• map (Support Map #28)
• google common messages (empty etc ...)
• groups ignored (deprecated by google so I guess there is very little incentive to support it)
• reserved fields (pb-rs: support reserved keyword and add error-chain #22)
• extensions
• nested extensions
• oneofs (Support Oneofs #33)
• service (ignored when parsed: 6cea56b)
• deprecated (88007b5)
• aliases
• any message
• json conversion
• packed should work only for primitive numeric fields (Packed primitive #111 )

Do you have any plans for support json conversion? This is a very good feature！！！

[tafia]

I have no plan for the short term (not much time) but I welcome any PR!
I believe this should be pretty easy to implement using serde or rustc_serialize.

[UserAB1236872]

Yeah, I think if we solve #61 json will take care of itself.

#68 should be in this list explicitly.
proto3 support is very limited.

[tafia]

#68 should be in this list explicitly.

Done. What else do you think is missing for proto3?

[brianjcj]

looking forwards for message option support!

[kootenpv]

Please add serde to this list

[mumbleskates]

suggestion: preserving unknown fields (e.g., read message with unknown fields, modify, write: new written message preserves unknown fields unchanged). many apis also allow detecting and explicitly dropping unknown fields.

Am I correct in saying you don't support dynamic messages and reflection

Could it be added to the list? Though I think it is a lot of work.
