Protocol Buffers Demo

simple javascript (node) and python demo using google's protocol buffers

Install

• clone me

node.js

• npm install (for the node.js part)

python

• install python's protocol buffers implementation (https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases)
  • get the protobuf-python-xxx.tar.gz
  • uncompress, got to python directory
  • sudo python setup.py install
• install protoccompiler
  • on the same page get protoc-xxx-os.zip
  • uncompress bin/protoc to your path

build

javascript

nothing :-) (because we're using an implementation that does not requires to compile .proto files).

python

create the class files from schema :

make

play

./node_write.js filename "some text" "more text"
./python_write.py filename "some text" "more text"
./node_read.js filename
./python_read.py filename

Files produced with "writers" should be exactly the same (md5sum) and they should be readable with both "readers".
