Fory Annotation Processor

fory-annotation-processor generates static serializers for Java classes annotated with @ForyStruct. The serializers are generated by javac during the application build, so they can be used when runtime serializer generation is disabled or unavailable.

Use this processor for:

• Android applications.
• ordinary JVM applications using ForyBuilder#withCodegen(false).
• Android model classes that use Fory type-use annotations such as @Ref, @UInt8Type, or @Float16Type.

For GraalVM native images, use Fory's GraalVM native-image build-time serializer generation instead.

Ownership

The processor is an opt-in build tool. Applications add it to their annotation-processor path; it emits Java source that references fory-core runtime APIs. fory-core does not depend on this module, and the processor implementation does not need a compile-time dependency on fory-core.
