AMQP client message format

Question

From what I understand of AMQP, "clients" of the message bus can use any format they wish i.e. the fabric is opaque to the client messages.

Is it a common practice to include an overhead specifying the protocol format of the messages for a given "exchange"? e.g. have a "\n" terminated first line specifying the protocol MIME-type (XML, JSON etc.)

Or is there a configuration option I haven't stumbled upon yet?

Answer 1

I found out that the content-type can be specified hence no need to encapsulate this overhead manually.

Answer 2

Do please email us if you are still in need of help on this!
