The Buffy Book

Buffy is a Protocol Buffers build and publishing tool. From a single set of .proto files, Buffy generates idiomatic libraries for multiple languages, packages each one according to its ecosystem’s conventions, and publishes them to their respective registries (e.g. crates.io, Maven Central, npm) or to Git. You can contribute to this book on GitHub.
