Description

The plugin generates ocaml type definitions, serialization and deserialization functions from a protobuf file. The types generated aims to create ocaml idiomatic types;

  • messages are mapped into modules
  • oneof constructs are mapped to polymorphic variants
  • enums are mapped to adt's
  • map types are mapped to assoc lists
  • all integer types are mapped to int by default (exact mapping is also possible)
  • all floating point types are mapped to float.
  • packages are mapped to nested modules

The package aims to be a 100% compliant protobuf implementation. It also includes serializing to and from json based on protobuf json specification
