  title: String
}

Oneof

Protocol Buffer

message UserAuth {

  }

  message FacebookProvider {
    string fbid = 1;
  }

  oneof provider {
    GoogleProvider google = 1;
    FacebookProvider facebook = 2;
    string generic = 3;
  }
}

GraphQL

type UserAuth {
  provider: UserAuth_provider
}

union UserAuth_provider =

  | UserAuth_FacebookProvider
  | String

type UserAuth_GoogleProvider {
  gid: Int
}

type UserAuth_FacebookProvider {
  fbid: String
}

Maps

Protocol Buffer

message User {
  map<string, Attribute> attributes = 1;
}

message Attribute {
