安装

在go中使用protobuf，有两个可选用的包goprotobuf（go官方出品）和gogoprotobuf。
gogoprotobuf完全兼容google protobuf，它生成的代码质量和编解码性能均比goprotobuf高一些

安装protoc

首先去下载protobuf的编译器protoc ，windows上可以直接下到exe文件(linux则需要编译)，最后将下载好的可执行文件拷贝到GOPATH的bin目录下(GOPATH/bin目录最好添加到系统环境变量里)

安装protobuf库文件

go get github.com/golang/protobuf/proto

goprotobuf

安装插件

go get github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

实例demo

/ 指定版本
// 不同版本写法存在差异
syntax = "proto3";

// 包名，通过protoc生成go文件时
package test;

// 手机类型
// 指定字段顺序 第一个必须为0
enum PhoneType{
     HOME = 0;
     WORK = 1;
}

// 手机
message Phone{
    PhoneType type = 1;
    string number  = 2;
}

// 人
message Person{
    int32 id = 1;
    string name = 2;
    // repeated表示重复
    repeated Phone phones = 3;
}

message ContactBook{
    repeated Person persons = 1;
}

生成go文件

protoc --go_out=.   *.proto

生成后的文件：

// Code generated by protoc-gen-go. DO NOT EDIT.
// source: test.proto

// 包名，通过protoc生成go文件时

package testprotobuf

import (
    fmt "fmt"
    proto "github.com/golang/protobuf/proto"
    math "math"
)

// Reference imports to suppress errors if they are not otherwise used.
var _ = proto.Marshal
var _ = fmt.Errorf
var _ = math.Inf

// This is a compile-time assertion to ensure that this generated file
// is compatible with the proto package it is being compiled against.
// A compilation error at this line likely means your copy of the
// proto package needs to be updated.
const _ = proto.ProtoPackageIsVersion3 // please upgrade the proto package

// 指定字段顺序 第一个必须为0
