Reference documentation and code samples for the Apigee Registry v1 API class Artifact.
Artifacts of resources. Artifacts are unique (single-value) per resource
and are used to store metadata that is too large or numerous to be stored
directly on the resource. Since artifacts are stored separately from parent
resources, they should generally be used for metadata that is needed
infrequently, i.e., not for display in primary views of the resource but
perhaps displayed or downloaded upon request. The ListArtifacts method
allows artifacts to be quickly enumerated and checked for presence without
downloading their (potentially-large) contents.
Input only. The contents of the artifact.
Provided by API callers when artifacts are created or replaced.
To access the contents of an artifact, use GetArtifactContents.
A content type specifier for the artifact.
Content type specifiers are Media Types
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type) with a possible "schema"
parameter that specifies a schema for the stored information.
Content types can specify compression. Currently only GZip compression is
supported (indicated with "+gzip").
