  ProtocolBuffers’ OneOf message addresses the case of having a message with many fields where at most one field will be set at the same time. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Logcat is awful. What would you improve?

  That's definitely the bigger thing. I think something like Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) is what you're looking for there. Output the data and consume it by something that can handle the analysis. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bitcoin is the "narrow waist" of internet-based value

  These protocols prevent an O(N x M) explosion of code that have to solve for many cases. For example, since JSON is an almost ubiquitous format for wire transfer (although other things do exist like protobufs), if I had N data formats that I want to serialize, I only need to write N serializers/deserializers (SerDes). If there was no such narrow waist and there were M alternatives to JSON in wide usage, I would... Source: over 1 year ago

• Understanding gRPC Concepts, Use Cases & Best Practices

  gRPC uses protocol buffers (it is an open source message format) as the default method of communication between client and server. Also, gRPC uses HTTP/ 2 as the default protocol. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• How to tackle saving a game character file?

  Where I worked, we used protocol buffers for this type of thing, but we required cross-language compatibility. Source: over 1 year ago

• Decoding USP protobuf data sent by USP agents, using the recent AWS IoT Rules Engine native SQL decode function

  Protocol Buffers (protobuf) is an open-source data format used to serialize structured data in binary form. It is used for transmitting data over networks or storing it in files. Protobuf allows you to send data in small packet sizes and at a faster rate than other messaging formats. USP specifies Protocol Buffers Version 3 as a mechanism to serialize data to be sent over a Message Transfer Protocol, such as MQTT. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Tools to generate class definitions?

  In all seriousness, protobufs includes tooling to generate bindings in most popular languages. It is however primarily for serialization and deserialization of structured data (e.g., for transport or storage). Source: over 1 year ago

• Handling variable-length Kafka tasks using Python

  This implementation is not meant to be bug-free and production-ready and is just a glimpse into what the proposed solution might look like. Additionally, we assume the producer application is already in place and produces events. The consumer application receives events as they are produced, process them, commits them on Kafka, and sends a new event containing the results to a separate topic to inform the producer... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• 1Password releases Typeshare, the "ultimate tool for synchronizing your type definitions between Rust and other languages for seamless FFI"

  Also, Google doesn't have official protobuf implementations for JS/TS, PHP, or Rust. The officially supported languages are listed here. The implementations you're describing may well be trash but that's not really a fair reflection of the quality of protobuf itself. Source: over 1 year ago

• 13 tricks for the new Bigquery Storage Write API in Python

  Protocol Buffers aka Protobuf is the portable exchange format widely used amongst Google Cloud API. It is usually hidden in the implementation when client libraries are used. With the new streaming API however, you will have to dive into it. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Java Serialization with Protocol Buffers

  The information can be stored in a database or as files, serialized in a standard format and with a schema agreed with your Data Engineering team. Depending on your information and requirements, it can be as simple as CSV, XML or JSON, or Big Data formats such as Parquet, Avro, ORC, Arrow, or message serialization formats like Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, MessagePack, Thrift, or Cap'n Proto. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
