Revision history [back]

There is a generic message, the ShapeShifter. It allows you to subscribe to any topic and get the message as a binary blob. There is no way to do introspection at the moment, i.e. although you get the binary data of a message, you cannot access the message fields. It provides a method instantiate that allows you to convert it to a specific type. That means however that you need to have that type at compile time again.
