Any type json marshaling.

[AmandaCameron]

It'd be nice if the Any type could be marshaled properly by jsonpb, as currently it ends up marshaling as a couple of strings, one of which being the base64-encoded value of the type.

I recognise this might not be an easy-to-do thing (I had forked to try and get it going, but couldn't find an obvious place for it. ) however it is still wanted, so at the very least this can be a tracking bug or similar.

It's just something we haven't gotten to yet. The text format supports Any messages; jsonpb just needs to be updated.

If you can give me some hints as to where I should be hooking in, I'd be glad to try and tackle this problem, as it's something of great interest to me.

ATM, I'm mildly confused as to wether I should be poking at marshalValue or marshalObject, as neither seem particularly well-suited for types that are actually objects, instead of primitives, at least in the WKT corner.

Or am I to assume that this isn't exactly trivial in the current code layout, and that's why it's not been gotten to yet.

[dsymonds]

I'll see if I can get it done today.

[dsymonds]

I should have marshaling done later today. It was a bit trickier than the other well-known types.

Unmarshaling is going to be harder again; that'll be a TODO for now. Is that going to be something important for you?

[AmandaCameron]

Marshaling only will be fine for now. However has there been a tracking bug for me to follow for possible updates in the future?

There isn't, but feel free to open one.
