JSON to Protobuf — Generate proto3 Schemas for gRPC Services

Defining a gRPC service starts with the .proto file. Paste a sample JSON payload and get a complete proto3 schema: a message for each object with sequentially numbered fields, string/int64/float/bool scalar mappings, repeated T for arrays, and a skeleton service definition to fill in.

The output follows proto3 conventions — snake_case field names, correct field numbers starting at 1 — and is ready to pass to protoc with your language plugin of choice (Java, Go, Python, etc.).
