Protocol Buffers for Objective-C

Build Status Version Platform

An implementation of Protocol Buffers in Objective C.

Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format. This project is based on an implementation of Protocol Buffers from Google. See the Google protobuf project for more information.

This fork contains only ARC version of library.

How To Install Protobuf

Building the Objective-C Protobuf compiler

  1. Check if you have Homebrew
    brew -v
  2. If you don't already have Homebrew, then install it
    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  3. Install the main Protobuf compiler and required tools
    brew install automake
    brew install libtool
    brew install protobuf
  4. (optional) Create a symlink to your Protobuf compiler.
    ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/protobuf/2.6.1/bin/protoc /usr/local/bin
  5. Clone this repository.
    git clone [email protected]:alexeyxo/protobuf-objc.git
  6. Build it!
    ./build.sh

Adding to your project as a sub project

...

  1. Add /src/runtime/ProtocolBuffers.xcodeproj in your project.

Adding to your project as a CocoaPod

...

  1. cd <your .xcodeproj directory>

  2. echo -e "platform :ios , 6.0 \nlink_with '<YourAppTarget>', '<YourAppTarget_Test>' \npod 'ProtocolBuffers', '1.9.6' " > Podfile

  3. pod install

Compile ".proto" files.

protoc --plugin=/usr/local/bin/protoc-gen-objc person.proto --objc_out="./"

Example

Web

Server-side requires Ruby(2.0+) and Sinatra gem.

To start ruby sinatra.rb in /Example/Web

if you need to recompile ruby proto models please install ruby_protobuf gem and make 'rprotoc person.proto'

iOS Example

/Example/iOS/Proto.xcodeproj

Project contains protobuf example and small json comparison.
