Can I use Protobuf to generate code for my json based DSL?

[Shreshtha Deepak]

We have created a json based DSL for creating workflows with dynamic data and flows between basic workflow units. Is it possible to use a proto file instead of the json to generate code in this case?

Protobuf supports a JSON encoding that might work for your use case.

Hi Shreshtha, 

Thanks for the reply! to give you more context of my use case:

we can deserialize the message from proto into json (jackson), and within the application, we require to use json to process business logics, and when the message needs to be egressed out of the application, I would like to convert the message back to proto, as the downstream services expect the message to be in proto format. 

If the json based DSL can satisfy this use case, can you please provide more details how this can be used?

Thanks a lot!
