When compiling nanopb Protobuf library as part of C language programs, nested Protobuf messages require use of nanopb defined function type `pb_callback_t` in order to encode and to decode those nested messages. Some examples of this on github:
In the first example an early on file instance of `pb_callback_t` occurs on line 56. Looking further this project has a few dozen protoc generated files . . . switching to a possible smaller project:
In kitsune project, looking at:
(1) file kitsune/kitsune/audio_features_upload_task.c function setup_protbuf( . . . ) (2) file audio_features_upload_task_helpers.c function encode_repeated_streaming_bytes_and_mark_done(pb_ostream_t *stream, const pb_field_t *field, void * const *arg) (3) in same file reviewing function write_streams(pb_ostream_t *stream, const pb_field_t *field,hlo_stream_t * hlo_stream)

Protobuf references, somewhat arbitrary starting point yet introduces some key topics of Protobuf standard and use cases:

JSON supported data types:
First Protobuf .proto file, compiles using `protoc-c`, part of a package available with Ubuntu 20.04:
// syntax = "proto3"; syntax = "proto2"; // Notes: // $ protoc-c --c_out=. ./first.proto message sensorUpdates { required int32 message_id = 1; optional float vrms = 2; }
. . . It appears that the integer values which message elements are assigned as tantamount to key names in JSON.
