StandardProtobufReader¶

Description¶

Parses Protocol Buffers messages from binary format into NiFi Records. Supports multiple schema access strategies including inline schema text, schema registry lookup, and schema reference readers. Protobuf reader needs to know the Proto schema message name in order to deserialize the binary payload correctly. The name of this message can be determined statically using ‘Message Name’ property, or dynamically, using a Message Name Resolver service.
