| |
| Provides runtime support for a Dart implementation of [protobufs][1]. |
| |
| Typically one does not need to import this library. The [protoc plugin][2] |
| compiles proto definitions to Dart files that import this library. If your |
| library or application uses generated protobuf libraries, add this library as a |
| dependency. |
