Google Protocol Buffer 的使用(一)

1、什麼是Google Protocol Buffer
下面是官網給的解釋：
Protocol buffers are a language-neutral, platform-neutral extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler.
協議緩衝區是一種和語言無關、平臺無關的可擴展機制，用於序列化結構化的數據。相比於xml，它更小，更快，更簡單。
數據緩衝區經常使用語通訊協議和數據存儲。
下面兩個網站是別人作的效率測試實驗：

2、環境安裝（Intellij IDEA插件安裝）
Intellij中的「File」-->"Settings"-->"Plugins" 中搜索Protobuf插件安裝，重啓生效。重啓後.proto文件會高亮顯示。安裝以下圖：

3、建立Protocol Buffer文件
Protocol Buffer文件是.proto文件。穿件文件xxx.proto放在名爲proto的文件加下，實例：

syntax = "proto3";

message SearchRequest {
  string query = 1;
  int32 page_number = 2;
  int32 result_per_page = 3;
}

4、java建立maven工程
pom文件：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

5、編譯生成代碼
經過Maven插件protobuf雙擊compile編譯生成代碼。生在代碼默認在target中，拷貝到你的工程中便可使用。
