Hi all,
I'm new in Cap'NProto, I consider using it instead of ProtoBuf2 in a new project. I have a C++ embedded app and I would like to create a web interface to configure it. My plan is to describe the configuration structs in Cap'nProto then use the generated code on C++ and Javascript side. A config scenario would be the following: 1. web app asks for the actual config (Javascript) 2. native app serves the actual config - serialization/write (C++) 3. web app displays the actual config after deserialization/read (Javascript) 4. user can modify the config in the web app - HOW? (Javascript) 5. web app sends back the new config - serialization/write (Javascript) 6. native app uses the new config after deserialization/read (C++) 7. native app can modify the config - HOW? (C++) 4 and 7 are the tricky parts, because as far as I understand the API I can only deserialize a reader that is read only, however I would like to modify and re-serialize it later. In ProtoBuf2 it would be straightforward, but I do not see any barrier in Cap'NProto protocol that prevents this kind of operations. (non-presented fields are zeroed, so there is place to store the modified data). My questions are the followings: - Is the described scenario the best approach to do what I want or I should do something totally different? - Can I deserialize/read into a builder? Or somehow transform a reader into a builder (without copying) - Should I use the generated C++ / Javascript structs as a direct source of configuration (actual code <-> Cap'nProto structs) or I should introduce "native" structs to interact with (actual code <-> "native" structs <->(serialize/deserialize) Cap'nProto structs) Thanks: Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cap'n Proto" group.
