Method Detail

print

public static <T extends MessageNano> String print(T message)

Returns an text representation of a MessageNano suitable for debugging. The returned string is mostly compatible with Protocol Buffer's TextFormat (as provided by non-nano protocol buffers) -- groups (which are deprecated) are output with an underscore name (e.g. foo_bar instead of FooBar) and will thus not parse.

Employs Java reflection on the given object and recursively prints primitive fields, groups, and messages.
