protobuf.js如何读取二进制数据

How to read binary data in the browser or under node.js?

When reading/writing binary data in the browser or under node.js, it is mandatory to understand that just reading it (as a string) is not enough. When doing this, the data will probably become corrupted when it is converted between character sets and protobuf.js will not be able to decode it or will return random stuff. What’s actually required here is to properly handle the data as binary.
To make it easier for you to get this right, here is some insight on the topic:
• XMLHttpRequest: responseType=”arraybuffer”
• WebSockets: binaryType=”arraybuffer”
• node.js: Buffer
Browser XMLHttpRequest snippet
Simple case, when you do request with response encoded only with protobuf bytes

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();xhr.open(    /* method */ "GET",    /* file */ "/path/to/encodedSomeMessageData.bin",    /* async */ true);xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer";xhr.onload = function(evt) {    var msg = SomeMessage.decode(xhr.response);    alert(JSON.stringify(msg, null, 4)); // Correctly decoded}xhr.send(null);

Multipart case, when you make request to endpoint that produce response encoded in “multipart” format, where different part of message could be encoded in different types, for example one part is encoded with XML and second part is encoded with protobuf. (For example, you can meet this case when you make requests against MTOM2 endpoint):

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();xhr.open(    /* method */ "GET",    /* file */ "/path/to/encodedSomeMessageData.mtom2",    /* async */ true);xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer";xhr.onload = function(evt) {    // reading whole body    var bodyEncodedInString = String.fromCharCode.apply(String, new Uint8Array(xhr.response));    console.log(bodyEncodedInString);    /*        for example it would be something like that in console:        `RESPONSE_BODY:            --protobuf            [...someprotobytes]            --protobuf--        `    */var protoStart = bodyEncodedInString.indexOf('--protobuf');   var protoEnd = bodyEncodedInString.indexOf('--protobuf--');/*        "Offset start" and "offset end" are required for line endings. Don't forget, that on various operating systems there is different line endings, and it is not so uncommon when your backend is running on Windows and generates "\r\n" in place of line endings.    */   var offsetStart = 2;   var offsetEnd = 2;var bufferSliceWhereProtobufBytesIs = xhr.response.slice(protoStart + offsetStart, protoEnd - offsetEnd);var msg = SomeMessage.decode(bufferSliceWhereProtobufBytesIs);   alert(JSON.stringify(msg, null, 4)); // Correctly decoded}xhr.send(null);

NOTE: In multipart case you need to use xhr.responseType = “arraybuffer”; and slice buffers via offsets because browsers, when read binary encoded parts, creates some corrupted text from it, and you can’t convert it to buffer and get correct ArrayBuffer for protobuf, so you need to slice original buffer (i did not found any solution, correct me if you find, please. Tested in Chrome, with native Typed arrays and Array Buffers).
Depending on the actual browser you are using, this may differ.
node.js: Properly using Buffers

var http = require("http");http.get("http://some/url/to/binary.pb", function(res) {    var data = []; // List of Buffer objects    res.on("data", function(chunk) {        data.push(chunk); // Append Buffer object    });    res.on("end", function() {        data = Buffer.concat(data); // Make one large Buffer of it        var myMessage = MyMessage.decode(data);        ...    });    ...});...
