Hi Paul, Currently we have existing java based message publisher with the headers. Here we try to use those published messages with the python client. If we use JSON structured message with headers enclosed we have to change all other current implementations as well. AFAIK We will distinguished the messages with their header value.So my point is if we used this sort of JSON structure for messages, we need to change all the current messaging model.
OTOH with the Stomp protocol with python client we were able to get those header values and used those messages as it is.
