How can I deprecate whole message in Protocol Buffers?


According to documentation:

deprecated (field option): If set to true, indicates that the field is deprecated and should not be used by new code.

Example of use:

message Foo {
 string old_field = 1 [deprecated = true];
}

Solution

  • You can set deprecated as a top level option on the message:

    message Foo {
       option deprecated = true;
       string old_field = 1;
    }
