The op extracts fields from a serialized protocol buffers message into tensors.

The decode_proto op extracts fields from a serialized protocol buffers message into tensors. The fields in field_names are decoded and converted to the corresponding output_types if possible.

A message_type name must be provided to give context for the field names. The actual message descriptor can be looked up either in the linked-in descriptor pool or a filename provided by the caller using the descriptor_source attribute.

Each output tensor is a dense tensor. This means that it is padded to hold the largest number of repeated elements seen in the input minibatch. (The shape is also padded by one to prevent zero-sized dimensions). The actual repeat counts for each example in the minibatch can be found in the sizes output. In many cases the output of decode_proto is fed immediately into tf.squeeze if missing values are not a concern. When using tf.squeeze, always pass the squeeze dimension explicitly to avoid surprises.

For the most part, the mapping between Proto field types and TensorFlow dtypes is straightforward. However, there are a few special cases:

  • A proto field that contains a submessage or group can only be converted to DT_STRING (the serialized submessage). This is to reduce the complexity of the API. The resulting string can be used as input to another instance of the decode_proto op.

  • TensorFlow lacks support for unsigned integers. The ops represent uint64 types as a DT_INT64 with the same twos-complement bit pattern (the obvious way). Unsigned int32 values can be represented exactly by specifying type DT_INT64, or using twos-complement if the caller specifies DT_INT32 in the output_types attribute.

Both binary and text proto serializations are supported, and can be chosen using the format attribute.

The descriptor_source attribute selects the source of protocol descriptors to consult when looking up message_type. This may be:

  • An empty string or "local://", in which case protocol descriptors are created for C++ (not Python) proto definitions linked to the binary.

  • A file, in which case protocol descriptors are created from the file, which is expected to contain a FileDescriptorSet serialized as a string. NOTE: You can build a descriptor_source file using the --descriptor_set_out and --include_imports options to the protocol compiler protoc.

  • A "bytes://", in which protocol descriptors are created from <bytes>, which is expected to be a FileDescriptorSet serialized as a string.

bytes A Tensor of type string. Tensor of serialized protos with shape batch_shape.
message_type A string. Name of the proto message type to decode.
field_names A list of strings. List of strings containing proto field names. An extension field can be decoded by using its full name, e.g. EXT_PACKAGE.EXT_FIELD_NAME.
output_types A list of tf.DTypes. List of TF types to use for the respective field in field_names.
descriptor_source An optional string. Defaults to "local://". Either the special value local:// or a path to a file containing a serialized FileDescriptorSet.
message_format An optional string. Defaults to "binary". Either binary or text.
sanitize An optional bool. Defaults to False. Whether to sanitize the result or not.
name A name for the operation (optional).

A tuple of Tensor objects (sizes, values).
sizes A Tensor of type int32.
values A list of Tensor objects of type output_types.
