a pure javascript protocol buffer encoding implementation, written specifically for riak
npm install protobuf.jsProtobuf.js
-----------
This is a pure javascript driver for the protocol buffer encoding protocol. It supports most of the types defined by protocol buffers, including 64 bit integers which are returned as long objects.
What it does:
=============
* reads output from proto2json as a schema
* encodes objects to buffers
* decodes buffers to objects
What it does not do:
====================
* make your breakfast
Usage
=====
``javascript
var protobuf = require('protobuf.js');
var proto2json = require('node-proto2json');
proto2json.parse(fs.readFileSync('./riak_kv.proto', 'utf8'), function (err, result) {
var translator = new protobuf(result);
//msg will only contain the protobuf encoded message, NOT the full riak packet
var msg = translator.encode('RpbGetReq', { bucket: 'test', key: 'test' });
//again, this will only decode the protobuf message. you have to remove the riak header yourself
var decoded = translator.decode('RpbGetResp', responsePacket);
});
