"type": "string"
}

Attributes:

Name Type Description

Required

Name	Type	Description
Required
type	string	The type of resource being identified (for example `com.acme.Person`). Services that contain operations for creating and deleting resources typically contain a constant specifying the resource type for the resources being created and deleted. The API metamodel metadata services include a service that allows retrieving all the known resource types.
id	string	The identifier for a resource whose type is specified by vapi.std.dynamic_ID.type. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field `type` must contain the actual resource type. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field `type` will contain the actual resource type.
