"""A database of Python protocol buffer generated symbols.
SymbolDatabase makes it easy to create new instances of a registered type, given
only the type's protocol buffer symbol name. Once all symbols are registered,
they can be accessed using either the MessageFactory interface which
SymbolDatabase exposes, or the DescriptorPool interface of the underlying
pool.
Example usage:
db = symbol_database.SymbolDatabase()
# Register symbols of interest, from one or multiple files.
db.RegisterFileDescriptor(my_proto_pb2.DESCRIPTOR)
db.RegisterMessage(my_proto_pb2.MyMessage)
db.RegisterEnumDescriptor(my_proto_pb2.MyEnum.DESCRIPTOR)
# The database can be used as a MessageFactory, to generate types based on
# their name:
types = db.GetMessages(['my_proto.proto'])
my_message_instance = types['MyMessage']()
# The database's underlying descriptor pool can be queried, so it's not
# necessary to know a type's filename to be able to generate it:
filename = db.pool.FindFileContainingSymbol('MyMessage')
my_message_instance = db.GetMessages([filename])['MyMessage']()
# This functionality is also provided directly via a convenience method:
my_message_instance = db.GetSymbol('MyMessage')()
