So, I don't know much about protobuf, so if I'm missing information you'd need to help me out, let me know and I can get more info. But here is what I am trying to do.

We have a tool that takes in a file that has a bunch of different logged messages in it. There are different message types: binary, XML and ASCII text. There's a binary header before each message that says what type it is, and then our tool parses those messages into human readable stuff. This is already all done.

But now, that file is going to get protobuf messages in it. We will, like before, have a header that tells us the next message is a protobuf message. We also will have the protobuf definition files for each message type.

Does MATLAB have a way to take the protobuf definition files and then parse the message? I google it, and it seems like it's likely true, but I can't find a tutorial or a "how-to." I'm also not sure if I need a toolbox to do it.

If anyone has information you could share or point me to, it would be awesome.
