| 1 This directory contains example code that uses Protocol Buffers to manage an |
| 2 address book. Two programs are provided, each with three different |
| 3 implementations, one written in each of C++, Java, and Python. The add_person |
| 4 example adds a new person to an address book, prompting the user to input |
| 5 the person's information. The list_people example lists people already in the |
| 6 address book. The examples use the exact same format in all three languages, |
| 7 so you can, for example, use add_person_java to create an address book and then |
| 8 use list_people_python to read it. |
| 9 |
| 10 You must install the protobuf package before you can build these. |
| 11 |
| 12 To build all the examples (on a unix-like system), simply run "make". This |
| 13 creates the following executable files in the current directory: |
| 14 add_person_cpp list_people_cpp |
| 15 add_person_java list_people_java |
| 16 add_person_python list_people_python |
| 17 |
| 18 If you only want to compile examples in one language, use "make cpp"*, |
| 19 "make java", or "make python". |
| 20 |
| 21 All of these programs simply take an address book file as their parameter. |
| 22 The add_person programs will create the file if it doesn't already exist. |
| 23 |
| 24 These examples are part of the Protocol Buffers tutorial, located at: |
| 25 https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/tutorials |
| 26 |
| 27 * Note that on some platforms you may have to edit the Makefile and remove |
| 28 "-lpthread" from the linker commands (perhaps replacing it with something else). |
| 29 We didn't do this automatically because we wanted to keep the example simple. |
