Add Non-scalar properties to the version 3.0 #109

Closed ethervoid closed 6 years ago

ethervoid commented 6 years ago

As you can see in the Protocol buffers specification is possible to define non-scalar properties as you can see here.

What if the MVT specification includes that kind of options in the Values part to be able to pass array-based or composite properties that could be used for different purposes like for example interactivity.

I assume that in the past this was not added to the specification because the version 2 of the protocol buffers didn't support it, the version 3 was released the 26th of July, 2016 and the last change in the .proto file for MVT was the 5th June 2016 but now we are able to use if assuming the 3.0 proto version is going to use the proto3 Spec :)

Yes, we're probably going to do this for v3. See #75.
