xtoproto (csvtoproto, xmltoproto, etc.)

xtoproto is a library for automatically (1) inferring a protocol buffer definition (a .proto file) from XML and CSV files, and (2) generating runtime code that translates XML and CSV files to proto using the mappings from (1).

Quickstart

The best way to get started is to try out xtoproto using the interactive, web-based playground hosted on Github.

More details about how to use xtoproto will be added soon.

Building

The project is buildable with Bazel and go build. Bazel is recommended because the files needed for go build are only present in the release branches of the repository (v0.0.6, v0.0.5, etc.).

bazel build //...

Playground

Try out xtoproto using the interactive, web-based playground hosted on Github. The playground uses a WebAssembly version of xtoproto and does not transmit the input example data to a remote server. Alternatively, you may start the playground on your workstation with this command, then navigate to http://localhost:8888/

bazel run //cmd/xtoproto_web -- --addr ":8888"

Development

gopls does not yet work with bazel. In the meantime, it is convenient to generate the .pb.go files used within this project so that gopls can pick them up and make autocomplete work. To do this, issue the following command from the root of the checked out xtoproto repository:

 bazel run //releasing/generate_pb_go_files -- -output_dir $PWD/proto --alsologtostderr

Releasing

There is a script for generating the release. Run it from the a cloned repository with the following command.

git remote add google  [email protected]:google/xtoproto.git
bazel run //releasing/make_release -- --workspace $PWD --branch_suffix v006c --tag v0.0.6

Disclaimer

This is not an official Google product.

This repository was created on June 29, 2020. We are incrementally migrating the code onto Github, and the project will not be functional until that migration is finished. This README will be updated with instructions about how to use the project once the migration is complete. In the mean time, feel free to browse the code.
