noproto
No-std
, no-alloc
protocol buffers (protobuf) implementation in Rust, for embedded systems.
Optimized for binary size and memory usage, not for performance.
Status: very experimental, ☢️ do not use in production yet. In particular, it doesn't handle many protobuf types well (see below).
Features
Implemented:
- Derive macros.
heapless::Vec
,heapless::String
impls.optional
repeated
oneof
enum
Not implemented (yet?):
- Support multiple protobuf encodings. Protobuf "types" are more like "type + wire encoding" all in one,
so one Rust type can be encoded multiple ways on the wire.
noproto
currently assumes the Rust type is enough to deduce how it should be encoded on the wire, which is not true. - Support more types (see below)
- Impls for
alloc
containers (goal is to beno-alloc
, but we could still have them optionally). - Impls for
&[T]
for repeated fields (only doable for writing, not reading) - Tool to compile
.proto
files into Rust code. - Maps
- Deprecated field groups.

Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
noproto
is guaranteed to compile on the latest stable Rust version at the time of release. It might compile with older versions but that may change in any new patch release.
