Interface Message

public interface Message

The NATS library uses a Message object to encapsulate incoming messages. Applications publish and send requests with raw strings and byte[] but incoming messages can have a few values, so they need a wrapper.

The byte[] returned by getData() is not shared with any library code and is safe to manipulate.
