prototool

Tech stack & purpose

Prototool is a command-line tool developed by Uber that simplifies working with Protocol Buffers and gRPC. It handles protoc installation and configuration, standardizes Protobuf file building, and provides commands for linting, formatting, generating stubs, calling gRPC endpoints, detecting breaking changes, and checking for lint compliance against Google or Uber style guides. Built in Go, Prototool wraps external libraries like emicklei/proto for parsing and jhump/protoreflect for JSON-to-binary conversion, delivering fast compilation and linting for individual files or large Protobuf projects.
