      # Welcome to ProtoDocs

      **ProtoDocs** is a client-side interactive documentation explorer for Protocol Buffer schemas. It translates compiled binary descriptors or live server reflection maps into human-readable, cross-linked, and syntax-highlighted specifications. The project is open-source and hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/sudorandom/protodocs).

      ProtoDocs provides a rich interactive interface to:
      - **Browse Files & Packages**: Clean directory hierarchy merging common path prefixes.
      - **Analyze Services & RPCs**: Renders service signatures alongside custom method options.
      - **Inspect Messages, Enums & Custom Options**: Renders structured types with interactive type links, oneof declarations, and nested custom options with full comment support.
      - **Go to Definition & Find References**: Pin tooltips to jump directly to type declarations and find all usages across loaded files.
      - **Interactive Try it out Client**: Send live gRPC-Web and Connect RPC requests to target services directly from the browser.
      - **Dynamic CLI Command Snippets**: Generates ready-to-use Connect and gRPC `curl` or `buf curl` command line snippets.

      ### Core Schema Definitions
      Explore the core definitions of Protocol Buffers by visiting the [google/protobuf/descriptor.proto](/#/files/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto) file.
