Event Encoder

The Agent User Interaction Protocol uses a streaming approach to send events from agents to clients. The EventEncoder 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

The EventEncoder 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.

initialize(accept)

Creates a new encoder instance.
