PBC is a Protocol Buffers library for C that works without code generation. It gives C developers a way to encode, decode, and work with Protocol Buffers messages dynamically. Because it avoids generated source files, it can be useful in environments where schemas need to be loaded or handled at runtime. The repository was archived by its owner in 2022, so it is now read-only and should be treated as a legacy project. Even so, it remains useful as a compact example of Protocol Buffers support in C. Its main appeal is its direct, lightweight approach to serialization without requiring the usual generated-code workflow.
