protobuf-net 3.4.21

protobuf-net

A contract-based serializer for .NET that reads and writes Google's "protocol buffers" wire format. The API follows normal .NET patterns — broadly comparable to XmlSerializer or DataContractSerializer — so you annotate the types you already have:

[ProtoContract]
public class Person
{
    [ProtoMember(1)] public int Id { get; set; }
    [ProtoMember(2)] public string Name { get; set; }
}

using var file = File.Create("person.bin");
Serializer.Serialize(file, new Person { Id = 12345, Name = "Fred" });

Members are identified on the wire by number, not by name, so the numbers matter: pick them once and keep them stable. Everything the attributes do can also be configured at runtime, via RuntimeTypeModel.

Contract-first works too: generate C#/VB from a .proto schema at build time, from the command line with protobuf-net.Protogen, or in your browser at protobuf-net.dev.

Build tools — analyzers that check your contracts, and the generator that emits serializers at compile time so native AOT and trimming work — ship with this package by default; opt out with <ProtoBufDisableBuildTools>true</ProtoBufDisableBuildTools>.
