public interface Message 
extends MessageLite 
, MessageOrBuilder 
```
Abstract interface implemented by Protocol Message objects.
See also MessageLite , which defines most of the methods that typical users care about. Message adds to it methods that are not available in the "lite" runtime. The biggest added features are introspection and reflection -- i.e., getting descriptors for the message type and accessing the field values dynamically.

  - getParserForType
```
 Parser 
<? extends Message 
> getParserForType()
```
    Description copied from interface: MessageLite
    
    Gets the parser for a message of the same type as this message.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParserForType in interface MessageLite
  - equals
```
boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)
```
    Compares the specified object with this message for equality. Returns true if the given object is a message of the same type (as defined by getDescriptorForType() ) and has identical values for all of its fields. Subclasses must implement this; inheriting Object.equals() is incorrect.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - object to be compared for equality with this message
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the specified object is equal to this message
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code value for this message. The hash code of a message should mix the message's type (object identity of the descriptor) with its contents (known and unknown field values). Subclasses must implement this; inheriting Object.hashCode() is incorrect.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code value for this message
    
    See Also:
    
    Map.hashCode()
  - toString
```
java.lang.String toString()
```
    Converts the message to a string in protocol buffer text format. This is just a trivial wrapper around TextFormat.Printer.printToString(MessageOrBuilder) .
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - newBuilderForType
```
 Message.Builder 
 newBuilderForType()
```
    Description copied from interface: MessageLite
    
    Constructs a new builder for a message of the same type as this message.
    
    Specified by:
    
    newBuilderForType in interface MessageLite
  - toBuilder
```
 Message.Builder 
 toBuilder()
```
    Description copied from interface: MessageLite
    
    Constructs a builder initialized with the current message. Use this to derive a new message from the current one.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toBuilder in interface MessageLite
