@bufbuild/protobuf
This package provides the runtime library for the protoc-gen-es code generator plugin.
Protocol Buffers for ECMAScript
A complete implementation of Protocol Buffers in TypeScript, suitable for web browsers, Node.js, Deno, and Bun, created by Buf.
Protobuf-ES is a solid, modern alternative to existing Protobuf implementations for the JavaScript ecosystem. It provides a comprehensive plugin framework and decouples the base types from RPC functionality.
Some additional features:
- Generates pure TypeScript
- Plain message objects, no getters/setters
- Reflection, registries, and custom options
- 100% conformant against the official Protobuf test suite
- Standard plugin-based generation, works with the Buf CLI as well as
protoc - Write your own code generators with @bufbuild/protoplugin
- Pairs with @connectrpc/connect for RPC and @bufbuild/protovalidate for validation
