Working with Schemas

pulsar-rest supports all schemas and is compatible with the Pulsar client in other languages. If you want to produce/consume a topic with schemas through pulsar-rest, see the following example. Pulsar schema uses the Pulsar Admin API to create. see manage schemas to learn the schema API or see create schema for topics to learn topic schema management on the StreamNative Console.

Binary Data

Because the HTTP client needs to send binary data, use the cURL tool to encode the string Hi Pulsar into UTF-8 format bytes. If you need to send bytes in another format, specify the appropriate file. For more information see the cURL documentation.

Avro Base Struct Schema

Pulsar uses Avro Specification to declare the schema definition for AvroBaseStructSchema, which supports AvroSchema, JsonSchema, and ProtobufSchema.

Multi-version schema

For basic schema types like String and JSON, pulsar-rest will automatically take the schema of the topic and put it into the metadata of the message. The client in other languages will serialize/deserialize the data based on this metadata.

String Schema

Create topic schema

curl -X POST https://<endpoint>:<port>/admin/v2/schemas/public/default/pulsar-rest-string/schema \
	--header "Authorization: Bearer <Access Token>" \
 	--header "Accept: application/json" \
 	--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 	--data-raw '{"schema":"","type":"STRING","properties":{}}'

Expected output:

{"version":{"version":0}}

Create a subscription on the topic

curl -X PUT https://<endpoint>:<port>/admin/v2/persistent/public/default/pulsar-rest-string/subscription/rest-sub \
	--header 'Authorization: Bearer <Access Token>' \
 	--header 'Accept: application/json' \
