43// `Any` contains an arbitrary serialized protocol buffer message along with a
44// URL that describes the type of the serialized message.
45//
46// Protobuf library provides support to pack/unpack Any values in the form
47// of utility functions or additional generated methods of the Any type.
48//
49// Example 1: Pack and unpack a message in C++.
50//
51//     Foo foo = ...;
52//     Any any;
53//     any.PackFrom(foo);
54//     ...
55//     if (any.UnpackTo(&foo)) {
56//       ...
57//     }
58//
59// Example 2: Pack and unpack a message in Java.
60//
61//     Foo foo = ...;
62//     Any any = Any.pack(foo);
63//     ...
64//     if (any.is(Foo.class)) {
65//       foo = any.unpack(Foo.class);
66//     }
67//
68// The pack methods provided by protobuf library will by default use
69// 'type.googleapis.com/full.type.name' as the type URL and the unpack
70// methods only use the fully qualified type name after the last '/'
71// in the type URL, for example "foo.bar.com/x/y.z" will yield type
72// name "y.z".
73//
74//
75// JSON
76// ====
77// The JSON representation of an `Any` value uses the regular
78// representation of the deserialized, embedded message, with an
79// additional field `@type` which contains the type URL. Example:
80//
81//     package google.profile;
82//     message Person {
83//       string first_name = 1;
84//       string last_name = 2;
85//     }
86//
87//     {
88//       "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.profile.Person",
89//       "firstName": <string>,
90//       "lastName": <string>
91//     }
92//
93// If the embedded message type is well-known and has a custom JSON
94// representation, that representation will be embedded adding a field
95// `value` which holds the custom JSON in addition to the `@type`
96// field. Example (for message [google.protobuf.Duration][]):
97//
98//     {
99//       "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Duration",
100//       "value": "1.212s"
101//     }
102//
103message Any {
104  // A URL/resource name whose content describes the type of the
105  // serialized protocol buffer message.
106  //
107  // For URLs which use the schema `http`, `https`, or no schema, the
108  // following restrictions and interpretations apply:
109  //
110  // * If no schema is provided, `https` is assumed.
111  // * The last segment of the URL's path must represent the fully
112  //   qualified name of the type (as in `path/google.protobuf.Duration`).
113  //   The name should be in a canonical form (e.g., leading "." is
114  //   not accepted).
115  // * An HTTP GET on the URL must yield a [google.protobuf.Type][]
116  //   value in binary format, or produce an error.
117  // * Applications are allowed to cache lookup results based on the
118  //   URL, or have them precompiled into a binary to avoid any
119  //   lookup. Therefore, binary compatibility needs to be preserved
120  //   on changes to types. (Use versioned type names to manage
121  //   breaking changes.)
122  //
123  // Schemas other than `http`, `https` (or the empty schema) might be
124  // used with implementation specific semantics.
125  //
126  string type_url = 1;
127
128  // Must be a valid serialized protocol buffer of the above specified type.
129  bytes value = 2;
