Protozero is a minimalistic protocol buffer decoder and encoder in c++.

designed for high performance. suitable for writing zero copy parsers and encoders with minimal need for run-time allocation of memory.

low-level: this is designed to be a building block for writing a very customized decoder for a stable protobuf schema. if your protobuf schema is changing frequently or lazy decoding is not critical for your application then this approach offers no value: just use the decoding api available via the c++ api that can be generated via the google protobufs protoc program.

this package contains the protozero headers.
