I needed to support JSON deserialization to the Protobuf models to integrate with a third party system with a large number of protocol buffer definitions, so it was infeasible to hand-write them.
This PR adds support for the serialization formats outlined here: https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/proto3/#json
I also bumped some dependencies and replaced the
Setup.hs
codegen approach for the official protobuf types because the Setup.hs approach absolutely refused to work in the upstream Nix project. I could probably roll it back, but it's nice IMO to be able to use some of the base packages to the ecosystem without having to have the protocol buffer compiler installed.
