public final class Api
extends GeneratedMessageV3
implements ApiOrBuilder

 Api is a light-weight descriptor for an API Interface.
 Interfaces are also described as "protocol buffer services" in some contexts,
 such as by the "service" keyword in a .proto file, but they are different
 from API Services, which represent a concrete implementation of an interface
 as opposed to simply a description of methods and bindings. They are also
 sometimes simply referred to as "APIs" in other contexts, such as the name of
 this message itself. See https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/glossary for
 detailed terminology.

  - getVersion
```
public String getVersion()
```
    A version string for this interface. If specified, must have the form `major-version.minor-version`, as in `1.10`. If the minor version is omitted, it defaults to zero. If the entire version field is empty, the major version is derived from the package name, as outlined below. If the field is not empty, the version in the package name will be verified to be consistent with what is provided here. The versioning schema uses [semantic versioning](http://semver.org) where the major version number indicates a breaking change and the minor version an additive, non-breaking change. Both version numbers are signals to users what to expect from different versions, and should be carefully chosen based on the product plan. The major version is also reflected in the package name of the interface, which must end in `v<major-version>`, as in `google.feature.v1`. For major versions 0 and 1, the suffix can be omitted. Zero major versions must only be used for experimental, non-GA interfaces.

    Returns:

  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Description copied from interface: Message
    
    Compares the specified object with this message for equality. Returns true if the given object is a message of the same type (as defined by getDescriptorForType()) and has identical values for all of its fields. Subclasses must implement this; inheriting Object.equals() is incorrect.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Message

    Description copied from interface: Message
    
    Returns the hash code value for this message. The hash code of a message should mix the message's type (object identity of the descriptor) with its contents (known and unknown field values). Subclasses must implement this; inheriting Object.hashCode() is incorrect.

    Get an instance of the type with no fields set. Because no fields are set, all getters for singular fields will return default values and repeated fields will appear empty. This may or may not be a singleton. This differs from the getDefaultInstance() method of generated message classes in that this method is an abstract method of the MessageLite interface whereas getDefaultInstance() is a static method of a specific class. They return the same thing.
