A protoc plugin that generates Validate() error methods on Go protobuf structs from field validation options declared in .proto files. Validation logic is code-generated, avoiding reflection overhead on deeply nested messages.

Use cases

  • validate protobuf messages in Go
  • generate validation code from proto files
  • enforce field constraints in protobuf schemas
  • replace manual if-nil checks for proto3 messages
  • add regex and range validation to gRPC request messages

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained protobuf validation (consider protovalidate/PGV)
  • you don't use Go or protobuf
  • you need runtime-configurable validation rules
