Overview ¶
Package any is a generated protocol buffer package.
It is generated from these files:
google/protobuf/any.proto
It has these top-level messages:
Any

Types ¶
type Any ¶
type Any struct {
// A URL/resource name whose content describes the type of the
// serialized protocol buffer message.
//
// For URLs which use the scheme `http`, `https`, or no scheme, the
// following restrictions and interpretations apply:
//
// * If no scheme 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`).
// The name should be in a canonical form (e.g., leading "." is
// not accepted).
// * 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.)
//
// Schemes other than `http`, `https` (or the empty scheme) might be
// used with implementation specific semantics.
//
TypeUrl string `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=type_url,json=typeUrl" json:"type_url,omitempty"`
// Must be a valid serialized protocol buffer of the above specified type.
Value []byte `protobuf:"bytes,2,opt,name=value,proto3" json:"value,omitempty"`
}
`Any` contains an arbitrary serialized protocol buffer message along with a URL that describes the type of the serialized message.
Protobuf library provides support to pack/unpack Any values in the form of utility functions or additional generated methods of the Any type.
Example 1: Pack and unpack a message in C++.
Foo foo = ...;
Any any;
any.PackFrom(foo);
...
if (any.UnpackTo(&foo)) {
...
}
Example 2: Pack and unpack a message in Java.
Foo foo = ...;
Any any = Any.pack(foo);
...
if (any.is(Foo.class)) {
foo = any.unpack(Foo.class);
}
Example 3: Pack and unpack a message in Python.
foo = Foo(...)
any = Any()
any.Pack(foo)
...
if any.Is(Foo.DESCRIPTOR):
any.Unpack(foo)
...
Example 4: Pack and unpack a message in Go
foo := &pb.Foo{...}
any, err := ptypes.MarshalAny(foo)
...
foo := &pb.Foo{}
if err := ptypes.UnmarshalAny(any, foo); err != nil {
...
}
The pack methods provided by protobuf library will by default use 'type.googleapis.com/full.type.name' as the type URL and the unpack methods only use the fully qualified type name after the last '/' in the type URL, for example "foo.bar.com/x/y.z" will yield type name "y.z".
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 `@type` field. Example (for message [google.protobuf.Duration][]):
{
"@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Duration",
"value": "1.212s"
}
