+ * # JSON Mapping
+ *
+ * In JSON format, the Timestamp type is encoded as a string in the
+ * [RFC 3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) format. That is, the
+ * format is "{year}-{month}-{day}T{hour}:{min}:{sec}[.{frac_sec}]Z"
+ * where {year} is always expressed using four digits while {month}, {day},
+ * {hour}, {min}, and {sec} are zero-padded to two digits each. The fractional
+ * seconds, which can go up to 9 digits (i.e. up to 1 nanosecond resolution),
+ * are optional. The "Z" suffix indicates the timezone ("UTC"); the timezone
+ * is required, though only UTC (as indicated by "Z") is presently supported.
+ *
+ * For example, "2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z" encodes 15.01 seconds past
+ * 01:30 UTC on January 15, 2017.
+ *
+ * In JavaScript, one can convert a Date object to this format using the
+ * standard [toISOString()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toISOString]
+ * method. In Python, a standard `datetime.datetime` object can be converted
+ * to this format using [`strftime`](https://docs.python.org/2/library/time.html#time.strftime)
+ * with the time format spec '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ'. Likewise, in Java, one
+ * can use the Joda Time's [`ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime()`](
+ * http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/ISODateTimeFormat.html#dateTime())
+ * to obtain a formatter capable of generating timestamps in this format.
