Practical Models in Practice
Lukas Renggli is a software engineer at Google who specializes in meta-models. He discusses several meta-models he has worked with including Protocol Buffers for serialization, Magritte for generic services, Google Web Toolkit for model-driven web development, and Helvetia for programming languages. He explains how each meta-model provides practical benefits like extensibility, language independence, and enabling the creation of specialized tools and applications.

- 6. Protocol Buffers Meta-data modelfor serialization
- 7. Protocol Buffers ‣ Encodestructured data ‣ Language-neutral ‣ Platform-neutral ‣ Extensible ‣ Efficient
- 8. Protocol Buffer IDL messagePerson { required int32 id = 1; required string name = 2; optional string email = 3; }
- 9. message Person { required int32 id = 1; required string name = 2; optional string email = 3; } protoc C++
- 10. Serialize in C++ Personperson; person.set_name("John Doe"); person.set_id(1234); person.set_email("jdoe@example.com"); fstream output("myfile", ios::out | ios::binary); person.SerializeToOstream(&output);
- 11. Deserialize in Python file= open("myfile", "rb") person = Person() person.ParseFromString(file.read()) file.close print "Name: ", person.name print "E-mail: ", person.email
- 12.
- 13. Why not XML/JSON? ‣Protocol Buffers are – 3—10 times smaller – 20—100 times faster – consistent code generators – less ambiguous – evolvable
- 14. message Person { message Person { required int32 id = 1; required int32 id = 1; required string name = 2; required string name = 2; optional string email = 3; repeated string email = 3; } repeated Phone phone = 4; } :Person :Person :Person
- 15. ‣ Describe yourdata once, and use it across platforms and languages ‣ Evolution supported by design ‣ Used at Google for almost all – data storage (file formats, database) – remote procedure protocols (RPC)
- 16. Magritte Meta-model for genericservices
