Crate prost

prost is a Protocol Buffers implementation for the Rust language. prost generates simple, idiomatic Rust code from proto2 and proto3 files.

The features of prost:

  • Generates simple, idiomatic, and readble Rust types by taking advantage of Rust derive attributes.
  • Retains comments from .proto files in generated Rust code.
  • Allows existing Rust types (not generated from a .proto) to be serialized and deseri8alized by adding attributes.
  • Uses the bytes::{Buf, BufMut} abstractions for seialization instead of std::io::{Read, Write}
  • Respects the Protobuf package specifier when organizing generated code into Rust modules.
  • Preserves unknown enum values during dserialization
  • Does not include support for runtime reflection or message descriptor
