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 from translating XML and CSV files to proto using the mappings
from (1).
Not yet operable
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.
Building
The project is buildable with Bazel. We also plan to make it buildable using go build after the initial migration effort.
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

generate_pb_go_files
command
Program generate_pb_go_files collects the generated go files from the bazel runfiles directory that match a given prefix and outputs those files to a destination directory; this may be used when .pb.go artifacts are needed to build xtoproto without bazel.
