Protobuf Language Service

This Visual Studio Language Service supports googles protobuf definitions in the following ways:

  • Brace Matching
  • Code Completion
  • Highlight Word
  • Outlining
  • Quickinfo
  • Syntax Coloring

The syntax coloring is now based on my own lexer/parser. Maybe this will change in the future and I use the output from googles protoc.exe (the protobuf compiler).

The standard colors are used for syntax highlighting with the exception of the Enum field-names. You can set the colors in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors. The name of the colors starts with protobuf. Please scroll down.

Errors are shown in the protobuf section of the output pane and in the error pane with line and column number. You can double click to go directly to the syntax error.

Source Code has moved to Github. If you have any issues or suggestions, please feel free to open an issue on Github.

Please do not forget to write a review.
