go-protoparser is a yet another Go package which parses a Protocol Buffer file (proto2+proto3).
- Conforms to the exactly official spec.
- Undergone rigorous testing. The parser can parses all examples of the official spec well.
- Easy to use the parser. You can just call the Parse function and receive the Proto struct.
- If you don't care about the order of body elements, consider to use the unordered.Proto struct.
- Or if you want to use the visitor pattern, use the Visitor struct.
GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/yoheimuta/go-protoparser/v4
A Protocol Buffer file versioned 3 which is an example of the official reference.

"string on two lines"
];
}

message inner { // Level 2

}

}
service HelloService {
rpc SayHello (HelloRequest) returns (HelloResponse) {};
}The Parsed result is a Go typed struct. The below output is encoded to JSON for simplicity.

}There exists the similar protobuf parser packages in Go.
But I could not find the parser which just return a parsing result well-typed value. A parser which supports a visitor pattern is useful to implement like linter, but it may be difficult to use. It can be sufficient for most parsing situations to just return a parsing result well-typed value. This is easier to use.
