pbc
A Google Protocol Buffers library for C that works without code generation.
What is pbc?
PBC is a C library implementation of Google Protocol Buffers that enables serialization and deserialization of structured data without requiring code generation. It allows C developers to work with protocol buffer messages directly through runtime APIs, making it easier to integrate with existing C codebases. The library provides both a flexible Message API and a high-performance Pattern API for different use cases.
C developers who need to implement Protocol Buffers serialization in their applications, particularly those who want to avoid the complexity of code generation or need runtime flexibility with .proto files.
PBC's main advantage is eliminating the code generation step required by Google's official implementation, making protocol buffers more accessible and flexible for C projects. It offers both ease of use through its Message API and high performance through its Pattern API, giving developers options based on their specific needs.
