Google Protocol Buffer Integration
2.4.4. Google Protocol Buffer Integration Google Protocol Buffers are an ideal solution for the rapid implementation of a highly efficient binary protocol that evolves over time. With ProtobufEncoder and ProtobufDecoder, you can turn the message classes generated by Google Protocol Buffers Compiler (protoc) into Netty codec. Please take a look into the 'LocalTime' example that shows how easily you can create a high-performing binary protocol client and server from the sample protocol definition.
