publicfinalclassDescriptors
Contains a collection of classes which describe protocol message types.
Every message type has aDescriptor, which lists all its fields and other information
about a type. You can get a message type's descriptor by callingMessageType.getDescriptor(), or (given a message object of the type)message.getDescriptorForType(). Furthermore, each message is associated with aFileDescriptorfor a relevant.protofile. You can obtain it by callingDescriptor.getFile(). AFileDescriptorcontains descriptors for all the messages defined
in that file, and file descriptors for all the imported.protofiles.
Descriptors are built from DescriptorProtos, as defined ingoogle/protobuf/descriptor.proto.
