Rest: message decoding

[ricardopereira]

I have a dictionary and I publish it like:

dictionary: NSDictionary = @{ name = "John"; number = 3; }

channel.publish(dictionary)

and the lib sends it like (dictionary -> binary -> base64):

{
  "data": "eyJudW1iZXIiOjMsIm5hbWUiOiJKb2huIn0=",
  "encoding": "json/base64"
}
               ^~~~~~~~~~ bug?

I was expecting a different payload, something like (dictionary -> json):

{
  "data": {
    "name": "John",
    "number": 3
  },
  "encoding": "json"
}

The same happens with NSArray.

References

(RSL4d3) a JSON Message payload is stringified either as a JSON Object or Array and represented as a JSON string and the encoding attribute is set to “json”

(RSL4d4) All messages received will be decoded based on the encoding field and deliver payloads in the format they were sent in i.e. binary, string, or a structured type containing the parsed JSON

Yes, agreed, this should be JSON encoded as opposed to binary encoded.
