This directory contains example code that uses Protocol Buffers to manage an
|
|
address book. Two programs are provided, each with three different
|
|
implementations, one written in each of C++, Java, and Python. The add_person
|
|
example adds a new person to an address book, prompting the user to input
|
|
the person's information. The list_people example lists people already in the
|
|
address book. The examples use the exact same format in all three languages,
|
|
so you can, for example, use add_person_java to create an address book and then
|
|
use list_people_python to read it.
|
|
|
|
You must install the protobuf package before you can build these.
|
|
|
|
To build all the examples (on a unix-like system), simply run "make". This
|
|
creates the following executable files in the current directory:
|
|
add_person_cpp list_people_cpp
|
|
add_person_java list_people_java
|
|
add_person_python list_people_python
|
|
|
|
If you only want to compile examples in one language, use "make cpp",
|
|
"make java", or "make python".
|
|
|
|
All of these programs simply take an address book file as their parameter.
|
|
The add_person programs will create the file if it doesn't already exist.
|
|
|
|
These examples are part of the Protocol Buffers tutorial, located at:
