[Osm4j] Why don't objects of type "way" and type "relation" appear in a file in PBF format?

[Manuel Enrique Puebla Martinez]

Hi: 

I am analyzing all the geographic objects of the information belonging to Havana, for this I downloaded the information from OSM in PBF format. 

Before, I had done the same work with a Havana municipality, which is included in what I downloaded now. The difference was that I used the XML format and not the PBF format. 

I find it curious, that with the municipality of Havana I found objects "OsmEntity" of type "way" and of type "relation", but now with the information of all Havana only objects of type "node" appear. It is contradictory that in a Havana municipality there appear objects of type "way" and of type "relation" while in all Havana only objects of type "node" appear. Will the answer be in the PBF format? Could it be that the PBF format does not allow capturing objects of type "way" and of type "relation" ? 

Any suggestions? 

Greetings.
