// `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 := anypb.New(foo)
// if err != nil {
// ...
// }
// ...
// foo := &pb.Foo{}
// if err := any.UnmarshalTo(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": ,
// "lastName":
// }
//
// 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"
// }
//
message Any {
// A URL/resource name that uniquely identifies the type of the serialized
// protocol buffer message. This string must contain at least
// one "/" character. 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).
//
// In practice, teams usually precompile into the binary all types that they
// expect it to use in the context of Any. However, for URLs which use the
// scheme `http`, `https`, or no scheme, one can optionally set up a type
// server that maps type URLs to message definitions as follows:
//
// * If no scheme is provided, `https` is assumed.
// * 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.)
//
// Note: this functionality is not currently available in the official
// protobuf release, and it is not used for type URLs beginning with
// type.googleapis.com.
//
// Schemes other than `http`, `https` (or the empty scheme) might be
// used with implementation specific semantics.
//
string type_url = 1;
// Must be a valid serialized protocol buffer of the above specified type.
