google.protobuf.any_pb2¶

Classes

Any Any contains an arbitrary serialized message along with a URL

class google.protobuf.any_pb2.Any[source]¶

Any contains an arbitrary serialized message along with a URL that describes the type of the serialized message.

# JSON

The JSON representation of an Any value uses the regular representation of the deserialized, embedded message, with an additional field @type which contains the type URL. Example:

package google.profile;
message Person {
  string first_name = 1;
  string last_name = 2;
}

{
  "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.profile.Person",
  "firstName": <string>,
  "lastName": <string>
}

If the embedded message type is well-known and has a custom JSON representation, that representation will be embedded adding a field value which holds the custom JSON in addition to the the @type field. Example (for message google.protobuf.Duration):

{
  "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Duration",
  "value": "1.212s"
}

type_url¶

string – A URL/resource name whose content describes the type of the serialized message.

For URLs which use the schema http, https, or no schema, the following restrictions and interpretations apply:

If no schema is provided, https is assumed.
The last segment of the URL’s path must represent the fully qualified name of the type (as in path/google.protobuf.Duration).
An HTTP GET on the URL must yield a google.protobuf.Type value in binary format, or produce an error.
Applications are allowed to cache lookup results based on the URL, or have them precompiled into a binary to avoid any lookup. Therefore, binary compatibility needs to be preserved on changes to types. (Use versioned type names to manage breaking changes.)

Schemas other than http, https (or the empty schema) might be used with implementation specific semantics.

value¶: bytes – Must be valid serialized data of the above specified type.
