Swift Protobuf
Este proyecto es una librería y framework de Protocol Buffers para Swift que proporciona un runtime para serializar y deserializar datos estructurados. Incluye un generador de código que transforma archivos de esquema en estructuras de Swift con seguridad de tipos y un framework de serialización binaria para convertir datos en flujos compactos.
La librería funciona como un mapeador de datos JSON, transformando mensajes en representaciones JSON estándar para facilitar el intercambio de datos multiplataforma. Utiliza un enfoque basado en esquemas para garantizar un modelado de datos consistente entre aplicaciones Swift y servicios escritos en otros lenguajes.
El framework cubre la serialización y deserialización de datos binarios y JSON, utilizando una librería de runtime basada en interfaces para manejar estos formatos a través de los mensajes generados.
Features
- Schema-Driven Code Generators - Translates protocol buffer schema definitions into type-safe Swift source code.
- Binary Deserialization - Reconstructs structured data from compact binary streams using predefined protobuf schemas.
- Binary Serialization - Provides a comprehensive system for converting data structures into compact binary formats for network efficiency.
- Binary Serialization Formats - Converts complex data structures into a compact binary format for efficient storage and network transmission.
- Protocol Buffers Serializers - Implements Protocol Buffers serialization to ensure consistent, type-safe payload exchange across services.
- Protobuf Code Generators - Automatically generates type-safe Swift source code from Protocol Buffer message and service definitions.
- Binary Wire Formats - Implements a compact binary wire format based on the protobuf specification for efficient network transmission.
- Cross-Platform Data Exchange - Enables the exchange of structured data between Swift applications and services written in other languages.
- Type-Safe Code Generators - Provides tools to generate type-safe Swift code from abstract protocol buffer definition files.
- Type-Safe Message Models - Generates strongly typed classes and structs to ensure data integrity during the serialization process.
- JSON-Protobuf Mapping - Provides bidirectional mapping between JSON representations and Protocol Buffer messages for API interoperability.
- JSON Data Parsers - Reconstructs data structures from JSON bytes according to a predefined schema.
- JSON Serializers - Transforms native data structures into standard JSON representations for cross-platform compatibility.
- Reflection-Based Mappings - Utilizes runtime reflection to map native language properties to JSON keys based on schema metadata.
- Model-to-JSON Mappers - Maps internal message models to JSON representations to decouple internal schemas from external API contracts.
- Runtime Protocol Interfaces - Provides a set of shared protocols that standardize how generated messages interact with binary and text serialization runtimes.
- General Utilities - Google Protocol Buffer runtime library.
