## Use Protobuf Java Lite Runtime
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Protobuf Java Lite runtime is separated from the main Java runtime because
|
|
|
|
|
it's designed/implemented with different constraints. In particular, Java
|
|
|
|
|
Lite runtime has a much smaller code size which makes it more suitable to
|
|
|
|
|
be used on Android.

|
|
|
Note that in order to achieve maximum performance and code size, we will
|
|
|
|
|
NOT guarantee API/ABI stability for Java Lite. If this is not acceptable
|
|
|
|
|
for your use-case, please use the full Java runtime instead. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
the latest version of Java Lite is not compatible with the 3.0.0 version.

|
|
|
You can generate Java Lite code for your .proto files:

|
|
|
|
2019-04-09 20:07:25 +00:00
|
|
|
$ protoc --java_out=lite:${OUTPUT_DIR} path/to/your/proto/file
|
2018-04-13 00:58:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-04-09 20:07:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that "optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME" option in proto file is deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
and will not have any effect any more.

|
The latest Java Lite runtime is not yet fully released in any official
|
|
|
|
|
version. You will need to build from our master's branch in order to use it.
