P4Runtime generally uses a program-independent representation (or PI) for P4 entities such as table entries, counters, etc. This is achieved by using IDs instead of names. The downside of this is that the representation is hard to read by humans. In contrast, a program-dependent (or PD) representation uses names and is generally more friendly to humans.
This repository provides several PD-like representations, and code to automatically convert between them.
This is a work in progress.
