Eclipse EMF ProtoBuf Integration

Build Status

This project integrates Google Protocol Buffers as serialization layer into Eclipse EMF. The initial implementation was created during Google Summer of Code 2011.

Features:

  • EMF Resource implementation to save any EMF model in ProtoBuf format
  • Conversion of any EMF model to ProtoBuf format
  • Generation of ProtoBuf's .proto file from an Ecore model
  • Generation of model specific, optimized converters to convert Ecore objects faster from and to ProtoBuf objects
