# README
Protoparse is a library to parse various protocols to protocol buffers
Installation
Just include the library from your Golang project and use the API. Running make will just run tests on this package and all subpackages.
Current protocols:
- MRT (BGP4MP)
- BGP
- RIB
Design
The main interface in protoparse is PbVal and the types that implement it are structures that usually have a buf []byte buffer that as the messages are parsed it is advanced and a a dest protocol buffer pointer that the data is stored. The functions of the interface is Parse() (PbVal, error) and String() string once an of type PbVal is created with an underlying buffer buf upon calling Parse() on it another object that satisfies the PbVal interface is returned. this we way we can recurse in the container formats while populating the internal protocol buffer messages.
