Event Encoder
The Agent User Interaction Protocol uses a streaming approach to send events from agents to clients. TheEventEncoder class provides the functionality to
encode events into a format that can be sent over HTTP.
EventEncoder
AgUiProtocol::Encoder::EventEncoder
The EventEncoder class is responsible for encoding BaseEvent objects into
string representations that can be transmitted to clients.
Usage
TheEventEncoder is typically used in HTTP handlers to convert event objects
into a stream of data. The current implementation encodes events as
Server-Sent Events (SSE), which can be consumed by clients using the
EventSource API.
Implementation Details
Internally, the encoder converts events to JSON and formats them as Server-Sent Events with the following structure:data: {json-serialized event}n\n
This format allows clients to receive a continuous stream of events and
process them as they arrive.
Methods
content_type
Returns the content type of the encoder.
Returns: String: The content type of the encoder
encode(event)
Encodes an event into a string representation.
Returns:
String: A string representation of the event in SSE format.
