Create event using .NET client of JSON type

Is it possible to create event using .NET api of JSON type

Here is a list events created by EventStore of JSON type and created by me of no type

I can see the body of events via HTTP api for JSON type only

http://prntscr.com/2dq7hm

And no body for no type

http://prntscr.com/2dq807

However as you can see it has a valid JSON payload

Is the ijson flag set?

#3

I’m using Event Store 2.0.1
Where can I set that flag? Are you talking about “data_content_type” ?

#4

From the .NET client API the constructor of EventData looks like this:

public EventData(Guid eventId,
string type, bool isJson,
byte[] data, byte[] metadata)

Setting isJson to true will do what you’re after, I think. It’s exposed in the protobufs as an enumeration (iirc) or maybe an integer to allow for future expansion.

Oh thanks,
I had it disabled, thought it doesn’t work correctly.

But it does work for Binary and Json types. However when I introduce new custom type lat’s say 2, it still will read event data with binary flag :slight_smile:

Anyway thx fro help.

Yes the other values are undefined. We dropped it in for forward compatibility at wire level for supporting things like bson etc

#7

There is different problem regarding content type.
In protobuf I always receive content type as Binary regardless to what was originally set. This is true for both data and metadata

#8

You are saying if you set isjson you get it back as binary?

#9

exactly

#10

hmm I will try to reproduce

#11

Are there any progress on this?

#12

I can still see this issue with RC3,
Please could anyone take a look?

I also got complains from one user of jvm client.
