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. | |
