This tutorial provides a basic Python programmer's introduction to working with protocol buffers. By walking through creating a simple example application, it shows you how to
Define message formats in a .proto file.
Use the protocol buffer compiler.
Use the Python protocol buffer API to write and read messages. This isn't a comprehensive guide to using protocol buffers in Python. For more detailed reference information, see the Protocol Buffer Language Guide, the Python API Reference, the Python Generated Code Guide, and the Encoding Reference.
This guide describes how to use the protocol buffer language to structure your protocol buffer data, including .proto file syntax and how to generate data access classes from your .proto files. It covers the proto3 version of the protocol buffers language: for information on the older proto2 syntax, see the Proto2 Language Guide.
This is a reference guide – for a step by step example that uses many of the features described in this document, see the tutorial for your chosen language (currently proto2 only; more proto3 documentation is coming soon).
One of the most common questions I’m asked to cover when I discuss software architecture topics is the difference between the various application messaging protocols that exist today—issues like how and why the protocols came about, and which one should be used in a particular application.
A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first.
Define your service using Protocol Buffers, a powerful binary serialization toolset and language.
Automatically generate idiomatic client and server stubs for your service in a variety of languages.
Raft is a consensus algorithm that is designed to be easy to understand. It's equivalent to Paxos in fault-tolerance and performance. The difference is that it's decomposed into relatively independent subproblems, and it cleanly addresses all major pieces needed for practical systems. We hope Raft will make consensus available to a wider audience, and that this wider audience will be able to develop a variety of higher quality consensus-based systems than are available today.
CANopen is the internationally standardized (EN 50325-4) CAN-based higher-layer protocol for embedded control system. The set of CANopen specification comprises the application layer and communication profile as well as application, device, and interface profiles. CANopen provides very flexible configuration capabilities. These specifications are developed and maintained by CiA members.
CANopen networks are used in a very broad range of application fields such as machine control, medical devices, off-road and rail vehicles, maritime electronics, building automation as well as power generation.
CiA’s website provides CANopen technical information dedicated for system designers or for device designers respectively.
Dark Internet Mail Environment (DIME) Specification
To bring the world our unique end-to-end encrypted protocol and architecture that is the 'next-generation' of private and secure email. As founding partners of The Dark Mail Technical Alliance, both Silent Circle and Lavabit will work to bring other members into the alliance, assist them in implementing the new protocol and jointly work to proliferate the world's first end-to-end encrypted 'Email 3.0' throughout the world's email providers. Our goal is to open source the protocol and architecture and help others implement this new technology to address privacy concerns against surveillance and back door threats of any kind.
