It is very resource-friendly + in both the amount of code and the runtime overhead. Here is an an overview + of JavaNano features compared with the official Java protobuf: + + - No descriptors or message builders. + - All messages are mutable; fields are public Java fields. + - For optional fields only, encapsulation behind setter/getter/hazzer/ + clearer functions is opt-in, which provide proper 'has' state support. + - For proto2, if not opted in, has state (field presence) is not available. + Serialization outputs all fields not equal to their defaults. + The behavior is consistent with proto3 semantics. + - Required fields (proto2 only) are always serialized. + - Enum constants are integers; protection against invalid values only + when parsing from the wire. + - Enum constants can be generated into container interfaces bearing + the enum's name (so the referencing code is in Java style). + - CodedInputByteBufferNano can only take byte[] (not InputStream). + - Similarly CodedOutputByteBufferNano can only write to byte[]. + - Repeated fields are in arrays, not ArrayList or Vector. Null array + elements are allowed and silently ignored. + - Full support for serializing/deserializing repeated packed fields. + - Support extensions (in proto2). + - Unset messages/groups are null, not an immutable empty default + instance. + - toByteArray(...) and mergeFrom(...) are now static functions of + MessageNano. + - The 'bytes' type translates to the Java type byte[]. + + See javanano/README.txt for details. + 2014-12-01 version 3.0.0-alpha-1 (C++/Java): General |
