blpapi::test::MessageFormatter

A Mechanism to format messages.

Description:

This component formats messages.

Limitations:

Currently, the JSON and XML formatting methods have some known limitations.

The parsers can not differentiate complex field types (sequences, choices, arrays) that are empty with complex field types that are missing / null. These fields are dropped and absent in the message contents.

Enumerations of type "Datetime", or any "Datetime" element with timezone offset or sub-microsecond precision (e.g. nanoseconds) are not supported.
