About:
Protobuf-C is a pure C implementation of Google's Protocol Buffers data serialization format. It enables efficient data exchange across different systems and programming languages without requiring a C++ dependency. This library is ideal for embedded systems and environments where C++ is not available.
|
Key Features:
- Pure C implementation
- No C++ dependency
- Cross-language compatibility
- Low memory footprint
- Code generation from .proto files
|
Use Cases:
- Embedded systems development
- Interoperability between C and other languages
- Network communication protocols
- Data serialization in resource-constrained environments
|
Alternatives:
-
protobuf (upstream)
– Official Google implementation, requires C++
-
nanopb
– Optimized for microcontrollers, minimal features
