protobuf repeat

Protocol Buffers (protobuf) is a language-agnostic data serialization format developed by Google. It allows you to define the structure of your data using a simple language called the Protocol Buffer Language, and then generate code in various programming languages to read and write data in that format.

The "repeat" keyword in protobuf is used to define a repeated field. It allows you to have multiple values of the same type within a single field. For example, if you have a message type called "Person" and you want to define a field called "phone_numbers" which can have multiple phone numbers, you can use the "repeat" keyword like this:

message Person {
  repeated string phone_numbers = 1;
}

In the above example, the "phone_numbers" field is defined as a repeated field of type string, indicated by the "repeated" keyword. This means you can have zero or more phone numbers for each person.

When you generate code from this protobuf definition, you will get methods to add, get, and manipulate the repeated field in your chosen programming language.
