This package provides a protoc plugin and Go library that adds support for validating constraints expressed as annotations within the protobuf schema. . By generating "Validate" methods for the message types, it allows applications to enforce complex rules—such as string patterns, numerical ranges, and required fields—at the edge of the service. This ensures that only valid data enters the system, reducing the need for manual validation logic and improving the reliability of distributed systems.
