MessageProtocol

A message protocol.

This describes the negotiated protocol being used for a message. It has three elements, a content type, a charset, and a version.

The contentType may be registered mime type such as application/json, or it could be an application specific content type, such as application/vnd.myservice+json. It could also contain protocol versioning information, such as application/vnd.github.v3+json. During the protocol negotiation process, the content type may be transformed, for example, if the content type contains a version, the configured HeaderFilter will be expected to extract that version out into the version, leaving a contentType that will be understood by the message serializer.

The charset applies to text messages, if the message is not in a text format, then no charset should be specified. This is not only used in setting of content negotiation headers, it's also used as a hint to the framework of when it can treat a message as text. For example, if the charset is set, then when a message gets sent via WebSockets, it will be sent as a text message, otherwise it will be sent as a binary message.

The version is used to describe the version of the protocol being used. Lagom does not, out of the box, prescribe any semantics around the version, from Lagom's perspective, two message protocols with different versions are two different protocols. The version is however treated as a separate piece of information so that generic parsers, such as json/xml, can make sensible use of the content type passed to them. The version could come from a media type header, but it does not necessarily have to come from there, it could come from the URI or any other header.

MessageProtocol instances can also be used in content negotiation, an empty value means that any value is accepted.
