About Protobuf

Protobuf is a compact, open-source format developed by Google for serializing structured data. It is widely used in APIs, messaging systems, and IoT applications where efficiency and portability are important.

The new reader supports .pb (binary) and .json data files defined by .proto schemas. It works with Proto2, Proto3, and Editions 2023. Geometry is not supported.

Available in build: FME Flow 2025.1 (Build 25587+)
