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//  Example 3: Pack and unpack a message in Python.
69//
70//     foo = Foo(...)
71//     any = Any()
72//     any.Pack(foo)
73//     ...
74//     if any.Is(Foo.DESCRIPTOR):
75//       any.Unpack(foo)
76//       ...
77//
78// The pack methods provided by protobuf library will by default use
79// 'type.googleapis.com/full.type.name' as the type URL and the unpack
80// methods only use the fully qualified type name after the last '/'
81// in the type URL, for example "foo.bar.com/x/y.z" will yield type
82// name "y.z".
83//
84//
85// JSON
86// ====
87// The JSON representation of an `Any` value uses the regular
88// representation of the deserialized, embedded message, with an
89// additional field `@type` which contains the type URL. Example:
90//
91//     package google.profile;
92//     message Person {
93//       string first_name = 1;
94//       string last_name = 2;
95//     }
96//
97//     {
98//       "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.profile.Person",
99//       "firstName": <string>,
100//       "lastName": <string>
101//     }
102//
103// If the embedded message type is well-known and has a custom JSON
104// representation, that representation will be embedded adding a field
105// `value` which holds the custom JSON in addition to the `@type`
106// field. Example (for message [google.protobuf.Duration][]):
107//
108//     {
109//       "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Duration",
110//       "value": "1.212s"
111//     }
112//
113message Any {
114  // A URL/resource name whose content describes the type of the
115  // serialized protocol buffer message.
116  //
117  // For URLs which use the scheme `http`, `https`, or no scheme, the
118  // following restrictions and interpretations apply:
119  //
120  // * If no scheme is provided, `https` is assumed.
121  // * The last segment of the URL's path must represent the fully
122  //   qualified name of the type (as in `path/google.protobuf.Duration`).
123  //   The name should be in a canonical form (e.g., leading "." is
124  //   not accepted).
125  // * An HTTP GET on the URL must yield a [google.protobuf.Type][]
126  //   value in binary format, or produce an error.
127  // * Applications are allowed to cache lookup results based on the
128  //   URL, or have them precompiled into a binary to avoid any
129  //   lookup. Therefore, binary compatibility needs to be preserved
130  //   on changes to types. (Use versioned type names to manage
131  //   breaking changes.)
132  //
133  // Schemes other than `http`, `https` (or the empty scheme) might be
134  // used with implementation specific semantics.
135  //
136  string type_url = 1;
137
138  // Must be a valid serialized protocol buffer of the above specified type.
139  bytes value = 2;
