It is independent of any calendar and concepts like \"day\" or \"month\". It is related to Timestamp in that the difference between two Timestamp values is a Duration and it can be added or subtracted from a Timestamp. Range is approximately +-10,000 years.\n\n| JSON representation |\n|-------------------------------------------------|\n| ``` { \"seconds\": string, \"nanos\": integer } ``` |\n\n| Fields ||\n|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `seconds` | `string (`[int64](https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/type-format)` format)` Signed seconds of the span of time. Must be from -315,576,000,000 to +315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min \\* 60 min/hr \\* 24 hr/day \\* 365.25 days/year \\* 10000 years |\n| `nanos` | `integer` Signed fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution of the span of time. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 `seconds` field and a positive or negative `nanos` field. For durations of one second or more, a non-zero value for the `nanos` field must be of the same sign as the `seconds` field. Must be from -999,999,999 to +999,999,999 inclusive. |"]]
