[Feature request] Enabling Protobuf Message Decoder #383

Closed MZDN closed 2 years ago

MZDN commented 3 years ago

Problem Not all messages sent by devices are in json. They can be also be in protobuf, zlib or another format.

Solution description Since protobuf is mostly used as message exchange format, there should be a possibility on the azure iot explorer to choose a decoder (for protobuf) in order to see/verify the messages that are being read from iot-hub. If the user chooses the decoder protobuf, he should able to upload the protobuf description of the expected messages. The user can then see the messages in for human readable format.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-explorer/releases/tag/v0.15.1 has addressed the issue. We've provided a command with a a panel on Telemetry page for user who would like to use protobuf.

I know this is close but along these lines could there also be a CBOR decoder?
