Compressed protobufs?

2008-10-21 Thread GDR

I noticed the protocol buffers store strings in their uncompressed
form. Is there any provision to produce and consume protobufs in
compressed form? This would be specially helpful if a lot of fields
were repeated strings.

There is no built-in support for this, but there's nothing stopping you from
applying whatever compression you want to the serialized data.
