Class FieldCodec<T> (3.23.0)

public sealed class FieldCodec<T>

An encode/decode pair for a single field. This effectively encapsulates all the information needed to read or write the field value from/to a coded stream.

This class is public and has to be as it is used by generated code, but its public API is very limited - just what the generated code needs to call directly.

`T`

Remarks

This never writes default values to the stream, and does not address "packedness" in repeated fields itself, other than to know whether or not the field should be packed.
