使用protobuf作为文本配置文件

问题描述：

我最近遇到了一个非常重要的任务关键项目，其中所有配置
文件都是使用文本protobuf定义来定义的。配置文件本应是人类可读和可编辑的
。

I recently encountered a very large mission-critical project where all the configuration files were defined using textual protobuf definitions. The configuration files are meant to be human readable and editable.

例如

message ServerSettings {
  required int32 port = 3022;
  optional string name = "mywebserver";
}

我个人觉得这很幽默。
但这实际上是否是一种合理的保持简单技术，或者显然是谐音的？！

Personally I found this humorous. But is it in fact a reasonable keep-it-simple technique, or clearly moronic ?!

换句话说，这是否存在真正的，实际的问题？

In other words, are there REAL, ACTUAL problems with this ?

答

如果这是文本proto if格式，那么...无论如何，我想。如果可行，那么它与任何其他序列化格式一样合理。

If that is the text proto if format, then... Whatever, I guess. If it works, then it is as reasonable as any other serialization format.

如果这是原始模式，那么它是非法的（=后的值是

If that is meant to be proto schema, then it is illegal (the value after the = is meant to be the field number).

Json或XML可能更典型，但只要有效，就不会太傻了。因此，最终的问题是：它起作用吗？

Json or XML might be more typical, but as long as it works it isn't "moronic". So the ultimate question is: does it work?
