NAME

Protobuf::WKT - Well-Known Type Registry

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

use Protobuf::WKT;

my $class = Protobuf::WKT->get_extension_class('google.protobuf.Timestamp');
# $class is 'Protobuf::WKT::Timestamp'

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a registry for mapping the fully qualified names of Protocol Buffer Well-Known Types (WKTs) to their specific Perl implementation classes under the Protobuf::WKT:: namespace.

It's primarily used internally by Protobuf::ClassGenerator to ensure that messages like google.protobuf.Any or google.protobuf.Timestamp are blessed into classes that provide additional helper methods (e.g., for time conversions or Any packing/unpacking).

METHODS

get_extension_class($full_name)

Given the full name of a Well-Known Type (e.g., google.protobuf.Any), returns the corresponding Perl class name (e.g., Protobuf::WKT::Any), or undef if the name is not a registered WKT.

get_all_wkts()

Returns a list of all registered Well-Known Type full names.

SEE ALSO

Protobuf, Protobuf::ClassGenerator, and the various modules in the Protobuf::WKT:: namespace.
