Curious about the ability to deserialize JSON payload to DynamicMessage while preserving proto names

[mdc1205]

I could just be missing something from the docs (still working on being better at reading Rust docs :)) but I'm currently taking a proto descriptor file and using prost-reflect to create a dynamic protobuf message from a JSON payload and it's works great. However, I was wondering if there was the ability to use the original proto names when deserializing the payload back into JSON?

Similar to how go has protojson.MarshalOptions{UseProtoNames: true} or python's json_format has json_format.MessageToDict(message, preserving_proto_field_name=True)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This should be possible using serialise_with_options and the use_proto_field_name option.

However, something seems to be broken because the latest version of the docs does not mention those items. I'll look into that - hopefully the docs were just built with the wrong feature flag and the functionality still works

Perfect this is exactly what I was looking for thanks for the quick reply!
