protobuf-go-lite is a stripped-down version of the protobuf-go code generator modified to work without reflection and merged with vtprotobuf to provide modular features with static code generation for marshal/unmarshal, size, clone, and equal. It bundles a fork of protoc-gen-go-json for JSON.

Static code generation without reflection is more efficient at runtime and results in smaller code binaries. It also provides better support for tinygo which has limited reflection support.

protocol buffers are a cross-platform cross-language message serialization format. Protobuf is a language for specifying the schema for structured data. This schema is compiled into language specific bindings. This project provides both a tool to generate Go code for the protocol buffer language, and also the runtime implementation to handle serialization of messages in Go.

See the protobuf-project template for an example of how to use this package and vtprotobuf together with protowrap to generate protobufs for your project.
