-- | -- -- An implementation of Protocol Buffers in pure Haskell. -- -- Extensive documentation is available at <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview> -- and Google's reference implementation can be found at <http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/>. -- -- It is intended to be used via "GHC.Generics" and does not require @ .proto @ files to function. -- Tools are being developed that will convert a Haskell Protobuf definition into a @ .proto @ and vice versa. -- -- Given a message definition: -- -- @ --{-\# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric \#-} --{-\# LANGUAGE DataKinds \#-} -- --import "Data.Int" --import "Data.ProtocolBuffers" --import "Data.Text" --import "GHC.Generics" ('GHC.Generics.Generic') --import "GHC.TypeLits" --import "Data.Monoid" --import "Data.Serialize" --import "Data.Hex" -- cabal install hex (for testing) -- -- data Foo = Foo -- { field1 :: 'Required' 1 ('Value' 'Data.Int.Int64') -- ^ The last field with tag = 1 -- , field2 :: 'Optional' 2 ('Value' 'Data.Text.Text') -- ^ The last field with tag = 2 -- , field3 :: 'Repeated' 3 ('Value' 'Prelude.Bool') -- ^ All fields with tag = 3, ordering is preserved -- } deriving ('GHC.Generics.Generic', 'Prelude.Show') -- --instance 'Encode' Foo --instance 'Decode' Foo -- @ -- -- It can then be used for encoding and decoding. The 'Encode' and 'Decode' instances are derived automatically -- using DeriveGeneric and DefaultSignatures as outlined here: <http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC.Generics#More_general_default_methods>. -- -- To construct a message, use 'putField' to set each field value. 'Optional', 'Repeated' and 'Packed' -- fields can be set to their empty value by using 'Data.Monoid.mempty'. An example using record syntax for clarity: -- -- >>> let msg = Foo{field1 = putField 42, field2 = mempty, field3 = putField [True, False]} -- -- To serialize a message first convert it into a 'Data.Serialize.Put' by way of 'encodeMessage' -- and then to a 'Data.ByteString.ByteString' by using 'Data.Serialize.runPut'.
