Synopsis Motivation Protocol buffers are agreeably a great way to define fully typed, language-independent API schemas with strong backward compatibility guarantees. They offer a neat experience for API consumers through generated bindings. The biggest problem associated with Protocol Buffers is their distribution. - How do you consume the raw protobuf files of one project reliably in another one? - How do you prevent transitive dependencies? - How do you publish to a unified registry with package format across languages? One obvious way is to generate code bindings in the repository containing the Protocol Buffers and publish the generated bindings, but this is associated with problems such as language lock-in. You need to proactively publish bindings for any possible language your API consumers may use. Also, in strongly typed languages like Rust, it is hard to extend the behavior of generated code in consumin","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/helsing-ai","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/helsing-ai/buffrs/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
