从bson结构转换protoc生成的结构的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I'm writing a RESTful API in Golang, which also has a gRPC api. The API connects to a MongoDB database, and uses structs to map out entities. I also have a .proto definition which matches like for like the struct I'm using for MongoDB.

I just wondered if there was a way to share, or re-use the .proto defined code for the MongoDB calls also. I've noticed the strucs protoc generates has json tags for each field, but obviously there aren't bson tags etc.

I have something like...

// Menu -
type Menu struct {
    ID          bson.ObjectId      `json:"id" bson"_id"`
    Name        string             `json:"name" bson:"name"`
    Description string             `json:"description" bson:"description"`
    Mixers      []mixers.Mixer     `json:"mixers" bson:"mixers"`
    Sections    []sections.Section `json:"sections" bson:"sections"`
}

But then I also have protoc generated code...

type Menu struct {
    Id          string     `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=id" json:"id,omitempty"`
    Name        string     `protobuf:"bytes,2,opt,name=name" json:"name,omitempty"`
    Description string     `protobuf:"bytes,3,opt,name=description" json:"description,omitempty"`
    Mixers      []*Mixer   `protobuf:"bytes,4,rep,name=mixers" json:"mixers,omitempty"`
    Sections    []*Section `protobuf:"bytes,5,rep,name=sections" json:"sections,omitempty"`
}

Currently I'm having to convert between the two structs depending what I'm doing. Which is tedious and I'm probably quite a considerable performance hit. So is there a better way of converting between the two, or re-using one of them for both tasks?

Please look at this repo. https://github.com/frankee/protobuf (still need to be merge by gogoprotobuf).

Please read the More Serialization Formats section in the document.
