Crate rustwire

Rustwire (encoded protobuf utils)

This crate provides a set of utilities for working with Protocol Buffers (protobuf) in Rust. It offers functions and types to manipulate encoded buffer messages efficiently.

Features

• Extract fields from an encoded protocol buffer message by tag number.
• Replace fields in an encoded protocol buffer message.
• Create headers for protocol buffer fields.
• Support for various wire types: varint, 64-bit, length-delimited, and 32-bit.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
rustwire = "0.1.0"

Usage

Here’s a quick example of how to use the protobuf-utils crate:

use rustwire::{extract_field_by_tag, replace_field_with, create_header, Variant};

// Extract a field from an encoded message
let encoded_message = b"\x08\x01\x12\x07\x74\x65\x73\x74\x69\x6e\x67";
let tag_number = 2;
match extract_field_by_tag(encoded_message, tag_number) {
    Some(field_value) => println!("Field value: {:?}", field_value),
    None => println!("Field not found"),
}

// Replace a field in an encoded message
let mut encoded_message = b"\x08\x01\x12\x07\x74\x65\x73\x74\x69\x6e\x67".to_vec();
let tag_number = 2;
let replace_with = b"Hello";
match replace_field_with(&mut encoded_message, tag_number, replace_with) {
    Some(old_value) => println!("Replaced field value: {:?}", old_value),
    None => println!("Field not found or error occurred"),
}

// Create a header for a field
let tag_number = 1;
let variant = Variant::LengthDelimited;
let encoded_message = b"Hello, world!";
let header = create_header(tag_number, variant.into(), encoded_message);
let encoded_field = [&header[..], encoded_message].concat();
println!("Encoded field: {:?}", encoded_field);
