Why It Matters

While this release doesn’t introduce new features, maintaining up-to-date dependencies is crucial for:

  • Security: Keeping transitive dependencies current helps protect against known vulnerabilities in the dependency chain
  • Compatibility: Ensuring continued compatibility with the broader Java and Google Cloud ecosystems
  • Reliability: Building on well-tested, recent versions of foundational libraries

This release demonstrates our ongoing commitment to library maintenance and long-term stability. The firestoreproto2json core functionality that converts Firestore Protocol Buffer documents to JSON remains stable and reliable.

Getting Started

Upgrading to v0.0.4 is straightforward. For Maven users, simply update your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>firestoreproto2json</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.4</version>
</dependency>

The release is fully backward compatible with v0.0.3 and earlier versions. No code changes are required on your end.

Try It Out

The library is available on Maven Central and can be integrated into your Java projects immediately. If you’re working with Cloud Functions or other services that trigger on Firestore events, firestoreproto2json makes it easy to convert Protocol Buffer data into manageable JSON objects.
