/*
 * upb - a minimalist implementation of protocol buffers.
 *
 * upb_decoder implements a high performance, streaming decoder for protobuf
 * data that works by implementing upb_src and getting its data from a
 * upb_bytesrc.
 *
 * The decoder does not currently support non-blocking I/O, in the sense that
 * if the bytesrc returns UPB_STATUS_TRYAGAIN it is not possible to resume the
 * decoder when data becomes available again.  Support for this could be added,
 * but it would add complexity and perhaps cost efficiency also.
