[rabbitmq-discuss] Best practice for supporting both, XML and JSON messages

[DeckerEgo]

The way the Spring AMQP project does it is by looking for a Content-
Type and Encoding header (not unlike HTTP) to determine how to marshal
the message. So if a Content-Type is JSON with UTF-8 Encoding it would
attempt to create a string using UTF-8 encoding and then unmarshal the
message using a JSON message decoder.

You could do something similar where you set Content-Type and Encoding
headers on your message, then encode/decode based on the type. It
would then be up to the endpoint creating the message to request its
desired format.
