Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Consuming and Testing third party API's using Spring Webclient
The above class maps the json data to a java object we can work with. We use Lombok to generate constructors, getters and setters for our code and the Jackson Project to handle serialization and deserialization of json to pojo . We know the response is an array of objects representing the coffee and so above data structure is fit for this.

💻 7 Open-Source DevTools That Save Time You Didn't Know to Exist ⌛🚀
Almost a decade ago, I started reducing my boilerplate (and saving time with Lombok. It made my life much easier, simple as that. Ever since I've been looking into finding the smoothest solutions for saving time rather than handling all of it myself.

How to prevent NullPointerExceptions in Java
Lombok is a widely used library that simplifies Java code. The @NonNull annotation helps enforce non-null parameters, generating appropriate null checks:

Feedback on a new annotation processor api
I gotta agree with /u/rzwitserloot I don't see anything in the lombok repo that indicates they have their "own compiler". I see the "reaching into javac internals" but that's it.

Does any tooling exist for Java to add @NotNull to every parameter, return type, field, etc. by default?
i looked into that and found this: https://github.com/projectlombok/lombok/issues/2310

Would this OpenJDK proposal make Java easier to learn?
Funny enough; /u/rzwitserloot is the author of Lombok, one of the most widely used Java libraries in the world. So it's not really some kind of random-ass Redditor they're having a discussion with either.

Kotlin : A Java developer's perspective
This removes the need to add the 'Project Lombok' library (and going through a phase of installing it in your Eclipse IDE; old school devs know what I am talking about) and speeds up development time. Java 14 added a new feature of 'Records' which allows you to do the same, but it doesn't offer a 'copy' method to ease your object creation and also enforces the 'final' keyword for variables making them immutable.

X-Pipe - A connection manager and remote file explorer. Let me know what you think!
I get the main criticisms of Java, i.e. its verbosity and the requirement for a lot of boilerplate code, and understand why some people switched to Kotlin. But by using libraries such as lombok you can get rid of most of it and suddenly the incentives for switching aren't that big anymore. And in the end it's all JVM bytecode anyways.

Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries
For at least 4 years protobuf has had decent support for self-describing messages (very similar to avro) as well as reflection
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
Xgooglers trying to make do on the cheap will just create a Union of all their messages and include the message def in a self-describing message pattern. Super-sensitive network I/O can elide the message def (empty buffer) and any for RecordIO clone well file compression takes care of the definition.
Definitely useful to be able to dig out old defs but protobuf maintainers have surprisingly added useful features so you don’t have to.
Bonus points tho for extracting the protobuf defs that e.g. Apple bakes into their binaries.

Create Production-Ready SDKs With gRPC Gateway
gRPC Gateway is a protoc plugin that reads gRPC service definitions and generates a reverse proxy server that translates a RESTful JSON API into gRPC.

To use more recent versions of protoc in future applications, you can download them from the Protobuf repository.

Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not
> didn’t find any standard for separating protobuf messages
The fact that protobufs are not self-delimiting is an endless source of frustration, but I know of 2 standards:
- SerializeDelimited* is part of the protobuf library: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
- Riegeli is "a file format for storing a sequence of string records, typically serialized protocol buffers. It supports dense compression, fast decoding, seeking, detection and optional skipping of data corruption, filtering of proto message fields for even faster decoding, and parallel encoding": https://github.com/google/riegeli

Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf
It looks like it is in fact universal. Just glancing at the code here, it looks like the tool searches any arbitrary file for bytes that look like encoded protobuf descriptors, specifically looking for bytes that are plausibly the beginning of a FileDescriptorProto message defined here:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
This takes advantage of the fact that such descriptors are commonly compiled into programs that use protobuf. The descriptors are usually embedded as constant byte arrays. That said, not all protobuf implementations embed the descriptors and those that do often have an option to inhibit such embedding (at the expense of losing some dynamic introspection features).

What's involved in protobuf encoding?
Not much. You can check the source code in https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf. For example, for serializing a boolean in C#: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/csharp/src/Google.Protobuf/WritingPrimitives.cs#L165. Strings and objects are a bit more complicated, but it is all about turning the data into its byte representation.

Trying To Solve The Confusion of Choice Between gRPC vs REST🕵
One of the key feature of gRPC is protobuf .proto file(nothing but just a contract for me between two communicator code components) This file and protobuff compiler is so mature, then it generates a direct client implementation using protoccompiler. ref
What are some alternatives?
JHipster - JHipster, much like Spring initializr, is a generator to create a boilerplate backend application, but also with an integrated front end implementation in React, Vue or Angular. In their own words, it "Is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures."
