@bufbuild/protobuf v2.2.2

@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 and Node.js, created by Buf.

Protobuf-ES is a solid, modern alternative to existing Protobuf implementations for the JavaScript ecosystem. It's the first project in this space to provide a comprehensive plugin framework and decouple the base types from RPC functionality.

Some additional features that set it apart from the others:

• ECMAScript module support
• First-class TypeScript support
• Generation of idiomatic JavaScript and TypeScript code
• Generation of much smaller bundles
• Implementation of all proto3 features, including the canonical JSON format
• Implementation of all proto2 features, except for extensions and the text format
• Usage of standard JavaScript APIs instead of the Closure Library
• Compatibility is covered by the Protocol Buffers conformance tests
• Descriptor and reflection support

Installation
