Feature Request: support json.RawMessage as payload for publishing messages #651

Closed joshuar closed 10 months ago

joshuar commented 1 year ago

Hey there,

I've been using json.RawMessage in a program, as I have a situation where I need to publish different messages that kinda are the same but might have all different bits in the JSON. So json.RawMessage, which is just a []byte anyway, works nicely.

It looks like the client code does not recognise a payload that is a json.RawMessage, so you get an "unknown payload type" error when using it.

Was wondering if there would be a possibility/interest to support json.RawMessage as a payload type?

It would be a very quick addition; feel free to submit a PR (alternatively just converting, []byte(rawMsg) is pretty much a no-op).

I'm going to close this as no PR was forthcoming and I'm unsure how much benefit this delivers (we could end up supporting all kinds of aliases for []byte (it's unfortunate that messages are interface{} but that's not something we can change now).
