Event Structure	event-structure	42

There are a few rules regarding RTC event data structures:

1. They are always JSON encoded

2. Top level keys are for either meta data or a root node which leads to actual event data

Top level fields are as follows:

• type: string

Denotes the event type as a string. This value is used as a key to identify the actual event data itself.

• <type>: <data>

The key here is found by checking the value associated with "type". Behind this event data can be found; for example a new-message event payload would look like:

{
	"type": "new-message",
	"new-message": {
		"id": 123,
		"time: 1623730090
	}
}
