Gpbedit aims to become a general purpose google protobuf editor, where based on one or more .proto files it will generate a user interface for that protobuf definition and allow one to create correct protobuf encoded data, that can then be stored in files, or pushed out onto a socket.

It’s being built for inhouse testing purposes, but it would be pretty cool if it turned out to be useful for others also.

it works with all .proto files, and can add and edit elements. Removing fields is not yet implemented.
Save and load works.
You define the proto files and the main message in the file .gpbedit (see example in repository).

Start the application ./gpbedit and open file test.gpb in the same directory. You should see a nice tree of objects with the example.proto structure.

It’s still pre-alpha though.
