Current parser implementation is not completely validating .proto definitions.
In many but not all cases, the parser will report syntax errors when reading unexpected charaters or tokens.
Use some linting tools (e.g. https://github.com/uber/prototool) or protoc for full validation.
See proto-contrib for other contributions on top of this package such as protofmt, proto2xsd and proto2gql.
protobuf2map is a small package for inspecting serialized protobuf messages using its .proto definition.
