Support well known types #528

Closed jskeet closed 9 years ago

jskeet commented 9 years ago

(Runtime) Conversions between Timestamp and DateTime
(Runtime) Conversions between Duration and TimeSpan
(Runtime) Conversions between wrapper types and nullable types
(Codegen) Direct of nullable types in generated code
No enhanced support for Any (yet)
No enhanced support for Struct (yet)
No enhanced support for FieldMask (yet)

(We may want to make it easy to create a Struct from a Json.NET JObject, for example. That would probably be in a separate NuGet package.)

Everything listed here is done now. We still need JSON formatting for FieldMask, and support in general for Any, when that's been decided. I don't think this issue is useful any more in itself.
