Reference documentation and code samples for the Google API Common Protos Client class Format.
The standard format of a field value. The supported formats are all backed
by either an RFC defined by the IETF or a Google-defined AIP.

Constants
FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED
Value: 0
Default, unspecified value.
Generated from protobuf enumFORMAT_UNSPECIFIED = 0;
UUID4
Value: 1
Universally Unique Identifier, version 4, value as defined byhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122. The value may be
normalized to entirely lowercase letters. For example, the valueF47AC10B-58CC-0372-8567-0E02B2C3D479would be normalized tof47ac10b-58cc-0372-8567-0e02b2c3d479.
Generated from protobuf enumUUID4 = 1;
IPV4
Value: 2
Internet Protocol v4 value as defined byRFC
791. The value may be
condensed, with leading zeros in each octet stripped. For example,001.022.233.040would be condensed to1.22.233.40.
Generated from protobuf enumIPV4 = 2;
IPV6
Value: 3
Internet Protocol v6 value as defined byRFC
2460. The value may be
normalized to entirely lowercase letters with zeros compressed, followingRFC 5952. For example,
the value2001:0DB8:0::0would be normalized to2001:db8::.
Generated from protobuf enumIPV6 = 3;
IPV4_OR_IPV6
Value: 4
An IP address in either v4 or v6 format as described by the individual
values defined herein. See the comments on the IPV4 and IPV6 types for
allowed normalizations of each.
