Enables Protocol Buffers serialization and deserialization, facilitating the creation and manipulation of binary data with ease and efficiency.
The protobuf runtime and generated messages support Linux. The built-in HTTP and RPC transports are available on JVM, Android, Apple and JavaScript targets. On Linux, HTTP, unary RPC and streaming RPC calls fail immediately with RpcResponseException and Codes.UNIMPLEMENTED; supply a custom HttpClient or RpcClient for networking. Unsupported streaming calls never invoke their block or readiness callback.
Code generation uses the versions in gradle/protobuf-tools.properties. Install that exact protoc version and go install latenighthack.com/protoc-gen-kt@088118bc634c03907ad30185e321de8cb8cc98db. For paired generator development, build in its separate checkout and pass -PprotocGenKtPath=/absolute/path/protoc-gen-kt; -PprotocPath selects an explicit compiler override. Both executable contents and all configured schema imports are Gradle task inputs. Extra include directories use -PprotoIncludeDirs separated by the platform path separator. Generation stages output before replacing previously successful bindings.
Run python3 scripts/test-codegen-inputs.py --plugin /absolute/path/protoc-gen-kt to verify unchanged-input caching and invalidation after compiler, generator and imported-schema changes.
The generator pin identifies the reviewed source revision. Its commits and the runtime commits must both be available before running remote validation; workspace overrides allow local paired verification before any push.
Run scripts/validate-generator.sh /absolute/path/protoc-gen-kt-checkout to compile and execute the generator regression consumers against the current runtime without Maven Local. The release workflow requires this check, the code-generation cache regression, and all runtime, patch and transport platform tests before publication.
