-----------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Alan Conway)
> [cpp] Encode/decode all legal message body types.
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PROTON-1987
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1987
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cpp-binding
> Affects Versions: proton-c-0.26.0
> Reporter: Alan Conway
> Priority: Major
>
> From AMQP spec
> [http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/os/amqp-core-messaging-v1.0-os.html#section-message-format]
> _The body consists of one of the following three choices:_
> # _one or more
> [data|http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/os/amqp-core-messaging-v1.0-os.html#type-data]
> sections,_
> # _one or more
> [amqp-sequence|http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/os/amqp-core-messaging-v1.0-os.html#type-amqp-sequence]
> sections,_
> # _or a single
> [amqp-value|http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/os/amqp-core-messaging-v1.0-os.html#type-amqp-value]
> section._
> It actually *is* currently possible to encode and decode all these body
> formats using a combination of AMQP value types and the message::inferred()
> flag. However, they way it works is not intuitive, and it is easy to encode
> an illegal body format (e.g. mix section types) which won't be detected till
> runtime.
> A better API should:
> * Make it easy to set/determine the body encoding style.
> * Type safe API that can only encode legal body formats.
