# OpenTelemetry protobuf files

## Protobuf Runtime library

OTLP exporting requires a [protobuf runtime library](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/tree/main/php).

There exist two protobuf runtime libraries that offer the same set of APIs, allowing developers to choose the one that

best suits their needs.

This package requires `google/protobuf`, which is the native implementation. It is easy to install and a good way to get

started quickly.

Alternatively, and the recommended option for production is to install the Protobuf C extension for PHP. The extension

makes OTLP exporting _significantly_ more performant. The extension can be installed with the following command:

```shell

pecl install protobuf

```

The extension can be installed alongside the native library, and it will be used instead if available.
