This is a fork of protobuf-for-node.

Changes

• Fixed to be compatible with node 0.6.

but

• Removed protoservice example.
• Removed native interface.

Otherwise it wouldn't compile.

Prerequisites

• protobuf

Usage

1. Write proto file(s)

2. Generate desc file from proto file(s) with protoc --descriptor_set_out ...

3. Use desc files from your scripts like this:

    var fs = require('fs'),
        Schema = require('..').Schema;
   
    var schema = new Schema(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/feeds.desc'));
    var Feed = schema['feeds.Feed'];
    var serialized = Feed.serialize({ title: 'Title', ignored: 42 });
    console.log('Serialized:', serialized);
   
    var aFeed = Feed.parse(serialized);
    console.log('Parsed:', aFeed);
   

4. Output:

    Serialized: <SlowBuffer 0a 05 54 69 74 6c 65>
    Parsed: { title: 'Title' }
