protobuf是一個語言無關、平臺無關的序列化協議,由谷歌開源提供。再加上其高效能、儲存佔用更小等特點,在雲原生的應用中越來越廣泛。
在C#中主要有兩種方法來使用protobuf協議,nuget包分別為Google.Protobuf和protobuf-net,其中Google.Protobuf由谷歌官方提供。本文簡要記錄和展示Google.Protobuf的使用方法和特點。

準備工作
需要用到的nuget有如下兩個:Google.Protobuf、Google.Protobuf.Tools,其中Google.Protobuf是主類庫,執行時要用到。Google.Protobuf.Tools提供了命令列工具,用於根據.proto檔案轉為目標語言的型別,僅開發時使用,執行時不需要。
本次Demo使用的.proto檔案內容如下:
syntax = "proto3"; option cc_enable_arenas = true; package Tccc.Demo.Protobuf; message ErrorLog { string LogID = 1; string Context = 2; string Stack = 3; }
首先需要根據.proto檔案生成目標型別,操作如下:
./google.protobuf.tools\3.19.1\tools\windows_x64\protoc.exe --csharp_out=./generatedCode ./proto/ErrorLog.proto
其中--csharp_out選項是生成C#語言的目標型別,執行protoc.exe -h 檢視幫助資訊,可以看到還支援一下幾種選項:
--proto_path=PATH --cpp_out=OUT_DIR Generate C++ header and source. --csharp_out=OUT_DIR Generate C# source file. --java_out=OUT_DIR Generate Java source file. --js_out=OUT_DIR Generate JavaScript source. --kotlin_out=OUT_DIR Generate Kotlin file. --objc_out=OUT_DIR Generate Objective-C header and source. --php_out=OUT_DIR Generate PHP source file. --python_out=OUT_DIR Generate Python source file. --ruby_out=OUT_DIR Generate Ruby source file.
執行上述命令,會根據指定的ErrorLog.proto檔案生成ErrorLog.cs檔案,檔案中就是C#型別ErrorLog。生成的程式碼中會給此型別增加方法void WriteTo(CodedOutputStream output)和只讀屬性Parser,接下來進行序列化和反序列化的關鍵。

序列化操作
public static byte[] Serialize(ErrorLog log) { using (MemoryStream output = new MemoryStream()) { log.WriteTo(output); return output.ToArray(); } }
反序列化操作
ErrorLog desErrorLog= ErrorLog.Parser.ParseFrom(data);
使用特點和理解
- protoc.exe是支援生成多語言型別,這對於跨語言的混合程式設計比較方便。
- 根據上述使用步驟可以看到,必須先使用工具protoc生成目標型別,才能呼叫序列化和反序列化方法,這有些不符合.net平臺的編碼習慣。
- 一堆自動生成的C#類在可維護性方面欠佳,當需要調整屬性欄位時,還要通過工具重新生成,較為麻煩。
