This is a migration aid for code that is currently accidentally relying on `ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory` to serialize and/or deserialize protobuf messages. Such code depends on the internal details of how protobuf messages are represented as Java objects, and can break if those details change. This adapter freezes a particular representation and allows code to become independent of future changes. We do not recommend this for anything other than managing legacy code that may have come to rely on a particular JSON format.
This is pretty theoretical, but github-advanced-security flagged it.
