medium / pbnj Goto Github PK

Hi!

I'm glancing through this project after discovering it via https://medium.com/@tc/yes-we-serialize-as-json-over-the-wire-instead-of-protobuf-s-native-binary-format-ea61498a9b00. The article mentions your java/obj-c/js generated outputs, but I don't see templates for any of that here. Does that mean we write our own Soy templates for each language? Or am I just missing where those are?

File 1:

package model.one;

import "file/to/model/two.proto";

message Test {
  optional string model_one_test = 1;
}

File 2:

package model.two;

message Test {
  optional string model_two_test = 1;
}

When loading file 1 and accessing the fields of message Test, it will return model_two_test instead of model_one_test

It seems that a field is only marked as isOptional -> true if it is an optional fields, so both required and repeated fields are not optional. Whether a repeated field is required or not is not specified in protobuf's specification.
