It is a shame that the Java SDK did not come with a built in class that was just simply a `byte[]`, `int offset`, `int length` class which provided a rich interface similar to what the String class does for `char` arrays. This library fills in that void by providing a Buffer class which does provide that rich interface. It also provides a java protobuf code generator to make it easy to encoded and decode objects to buffers and back.
