How to send an avro schema based message using websocket apis

[Sachin Mittal <sj...@gmail.com>]

I was going through the producer api listed here:
https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-websocket/#producer-endpoint

It looks like the message payload can only be BASE64 encoded.
What if my message payload is in avro format?

Is there a way to use websocket api to send such a message.

Thanks
Sachin

Sachin,

Currently, WebSocket doesn't support schema. There is an in-progress work
to add this feature to the websocket.

At the same time, what you can do is:

- serialize the data into bytes using Avro
- encode the bytes using BASE64 encoding
