This directory contains a Protocol Buffer-language model and related code for supporting Google's API Discovery Format.

Gnostic applications and plugins can use Discovery.proto to generate Protocol Buffer support code for their preferred languages.

Discovery.go is used by Gnostic to read JSON and YAML Discovery descriptions into the Protocol Buffer-based datastructures generated from Discovery.proto.

Discovery.proto and Discovery.go are generated by the Gnostic compiler generator, and Discovery.pb.go is generated by protoc, the Protocol Buffer compiler, and protoc-gen-go, the Protocol Buffer Go code generation plugin.
