Thanks for the explanation. std::any is a C++ type, and as Franca is language agnostic, you cannot use C++ types in interface definitions.

However, the general concept of std::any can be emulated in Franca by using a ByteBuffer primitive type. However, pls read the Caveat in the Franca User Guide (v0.12):
