Message categories

Open Message Format (OMF) messages fall into three categories:

• Type

• Container

• Data

Within each category, three types of actions can be specified:

• Create

• Update

• Delete

Each message bulks individual JSON objects into a JSON array. Within a given array, all objects must be of the same message type: Type, Container, or Data.

To achieve optimal throughput, bulking and compression of messages is recommended.
