protobufjs-no-cli

About protobufjs-no-cli
=======================

Our project only needs to use the loadProto API from protobufjs, not the
CLI. The ascli package uses strange @latest dependencies which trigger
some bugs in npm. So this package lets us depend on protobufjs without
pulling in the ascli dependency.

A PR to fix ascli is at https://github.com/dcodeIO/ascli/pull/2

The underlying bug seems to be tracked at
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/13642

!protobuf.js - Protocol Buffers for JavaScript. Finally.
=====================================
Protocol Buffers are a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use
in communications protocols, data storage, and more, originally designed at Google (see).

protobuf.js is a pure JavaScript implementation on top of bytebuffer.js
including a .proto parser, message class building and simple encoding and decoding. There is no compilation step
required, it's super easy to use and it works out of the box on .proto files!
