Example: 99// 100// package google.profile; 101// message Person { 102// string first_name = 1; 103// string last_name = 2; 104// } 105// 106// { 107// "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.profile.Person", 108// "firstName": <string>, 109// "lastName": <string> 110// } 111// 112// If the embedded message type is well-known and has a custom JSON 113// representation, that representation will be embedded adding a field 114// `value` which holds the custom JSON in addition to the `@type` 115// field. Example (for message [google.protobuf.Duration][]): 116// 117// { 118// "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Duration", 119// "value": "1.212s" 120// } 121// 122message Any { 123 // A URL/resource name that uniquely identifies the type of the serialized 124 // protocol buffer message. This string must contain at least 125 // one "/" character. The last segment of the URL's path must represent 126 // the fully qualified name of the type (as in 127 // `path/google.protobuf.Duration`). The name should be in a canonical form 128 // (e.g., leading "." is not accepted). 129 // 130 // In practice, teams usually precompile into the binary all types that they 131 // expect it to use in the context of Any. However, for URLs which use the 132 // scheme `http`, `https`, or no scheme, one can optionally set up a type 133 // server that maps type URLs to message definitions as follows: 134 // 135 // * If no scheme is provided, `https` is assumed. 136 // * An HTTP GET on the URL must yield a [google.protobuf.Type][] 137 // value in binary format, or produce an error. 138 // * Applications are allowed to cache lookup results based on the 139 // URL, or have them precompiled into a binary to avoid any 140 // lookup. Therefore, binary compatibility needs to be preserved 141 // on changes to types. (Use versioned type names to manage 142 // breaking changes.) 143 // 144 // Note: this functionality is not currently available in the official 145 // protobuf release, and it is not used for type URLs beginning with 146 // type.googleapis.com. 147 // 148 // Schemes other than `http`, `https` (or the empty scheme) might be 149 // used with implementation specific semantics. 150 // 151 string type_url = 1; 152 153 // Must be a valid serialized protocol buffer of the above specified type. 154 bytes value = 2; 155} 156
