Files in this folder describe structured data formats that are generated by
|
2020-02-27 18:50:08 +00:00
|
|
|
GNSS-SDR. They use
|
|
|
|
|
[Protocol Buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/)'
|
2019-04-22 12:01:37 +00:00
|
|
|
[proto3](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3) syntax.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From those files, the protocol buffer compiler creates classes that implement
|
|
|
|
|
automatic encoding and parsing of the protocol buffer data with an efficient
|
|
|
|
|
binary format. The generated classes provide getters and setters for the fields
|
|
|
|
|
that make up a protocol buffer and take care of the details of reading and
|
|
|
|
|
writing it as a unit. Importantly, the protocol buffer format supports the idea
|
|
|
|
|
of extending the format over time in such a way that the code can still read
|
|
|
|
|
data encoded with the old format.

Just grab these files if you are developing a client application for GNSS-SDR.

You are free to use C++, Java, Python, C#, Dart, Go or Ruby, among other
|
|
|
|
|
languages. A tutorial to create a simple application using Protocol Buffers and
|
|
|
|
|
a `.proto` file in C++ is available at
