Re: [protobuf] Can you use protobuf to map json messages formatted differently to the same buffer?

[Adam Cozzette]

No, unfortunately I don't think that is supported. You can set the json_name field option in your .proto file to specify the field name to be used for JSON, but you can't specify more than one name for a field.

let's say 2 jsons have different keys but map to the same key in the buffer, for example:

{
 keyA:1,
 keyB:5
}

should map to a buffer containing: 

{ quantity: 1, cost: 5 }

and:

{
 keyC:5,
 keyD:10
}

should map to a buffer containing:

{ quantity: 5, cost: 10 }

as you can see both "KeyA", "KeyC" map to quantity and "KeyB", "KeyD" to "cost".

How can we do that with protobuf?

Thank you!
