# Protocol Buffers
For using protocol buffers in .NET see [[Protocol Buffers in .NET]].
Documentation can be found here: [Protocol Buffers Documentation](https://protobuf.dev).
## Timestamps
Protocol buffers support timestamp fields using `google/protobuf/timestamp.proto` wrappers.
```proto
syntax = "proto3";
import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";
message MessageWithTimestamp {
google.protobuf.Timestamp timestamp = 1;
}
```
