 The project utilizes [Nanopb](https://github.com/nanopb/nanopb) to generate C structures for given protobuf specs that use contiguous memory. It also generates serializer libraries that can be provided to jbpf, to encode output and decode input data to seamlessly integrate external data processing systems.

 Developers must write `.proto` file(s) defining the models that are to be serialized. Additionally they must provide [generator options](https://jpa.kapsi.fi/nanopb/docs/reference.html#generator-options) as defined by nanopb to ensure generated structs can be defined in C as contiguous memory structs.
