protobuf是一种高效的数据传输格式（Google's data interchange format），且与语言无关，protobuf和json是基于http服务中最常见的两种数据格式。今天来学习基于golang的protobuf相关内容。
google protocol buffer: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
golang 官方提供的protobuf支持插件:https://github.com/golang/protobuf
要想使用protobuf，需要4步：
- 下载安装google protocol buffer 编译器:https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/tag/v3.5.1
- 下载安装golang protobuf plugin:https://github.com/golang/protobuf
使用go tools安装:go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go - 按照protobuf 语法规则编写.proto文件
- 将proto文件编译成golang代码模型
protoc -I=$SRC_DIR --go_out=$DST_DIR $SRC_DIR/addressbook.proto
-IPATH, --proto_path=PATH 指定import路径
--go_out 指定生成go代码路径（同理--java_out是指定java生成路径）
下面以一个实际例子来说明：
addressbook.proto
syntax = "proto3";
package test.protobuf.tutorial;
message Person{
string name = 1;//姓名
int32 id = 2;//id编号
string email = 3;//邮箱
enum PhoneType { //枚举类型（电话类型）
MOBILE = 0;
HOME = 1;
WORK = 2;
}
message PhoneNumber{
string number = 1;
PhoneType type = 2;
}
repeated PhoneNumber phones = 4; //repeated可理解为动态数组
}
// Our address book file is just one of these.
message AddressBook {
repeated Person people = 1;
}编译生成go文件。protoc会调用protoc-go-gen来生成go文件
.

└── addressbook.pb.go
protoc --go_out=./src addressbook.proto

} ok,生成模型代码后，我们就可以使用protobuf协议来对数据进行编解码了
//将数据编码成protobuf 二进制格式--Writing a Message
func EncodeAddressBook (book *pb.AddressBook)(out []byte, err error) {
// Write the new address book back to disk.
out, err = proto.Marshal(book)
if err != nil {
log.Println("Failed to encode address book:", err)
return nil,err
}
if err := ioutil.WriteFile("addressbook_proto.data", out, 0644); err != nil {
log.Fatalln("Failed to write address book:", err)
return nil,err
}
fmt.Println("[Debug]: ", out)
return
} //将二进制数据解码为golang 数据结构 --Reading a Message
func DecodeAddressBook(in []byte) (book *pb.AddressBook, err error){
// Read the existing address book.
book = &pb.AddressBook{}
if err := proto.Unmarshal(in, book); err != nil {
log.Println("Failed to parse address book:", err)
return nil,err
}
return
}
