   > Looking towards the future, it is my hope that we can standardize on one approach for both minifi and minifi-cpp. Ideally that is the C2 Protocol with a shared/common server that is compatible with nifi, minifi, and minifi-cpp. I think this PR is the first step towards achieving something like this, as it allows us to much more easily maintain minifi (java) in lockstep with with nifi. From here we have a good foundation to implement a C2 Protocol Client to the same spec supported by minifi-cpp and a corresponding server implementation that can share API code with the java client.
   
   Sorry for closing. I meant to cancel my reply and I spilled coffee and closed it! I was going to cancel a reply saying I look forward to help on the nifi-minifi side ( I figured actually helping is more important than responding ). 
   
   Apologies for the closure @mattyb149  !
