Support for TextFormat #268

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This is actually a feature request to have an implementation of the original 
TextFormat utilities.
They would be quite useful to have messages in a readable format but still able 
to parse them and encode in wire format.

The idea here is to be able to edit messages in an application, then be able to 
parse them back into .net objects. I know that JSON would be possible as an 
intermediary step, but the protobuffer spec already provides for TextFormat, so 
that would be more convenient.

I use TextFormat to provide development files, which can then be converted to 
binary for release builds. Despite my primary application being in C++, it 
would be nice to use C# for the utilities, however the lack of TextFormat 
support in protobuf-net stops it being possible to convert this to a C# utility.
