Custom serializers with MT3

[Christos Delivorias]

As there are quite a few changes in MT3 I can't seem to find any documentation on how to apply custom serializers to the messages.

There used to be a UseDefaultSerializer method for the bus, but not in v.3. I'm currently on v3.0.10.

I want to use ProtoBuf serialization, so I would appreciate any guidance as to how to plugin a new de/serializer in MT3.

Thanks again,

Christos

In MT3, there are two interfaces -- IMessageSerializer, and IMessageDeserializer. You can see how they are configured into the bus by checking out:

https://github.com/MassTransit/MassTransit/blob/mt3/src/MassTransit/Configuration/SerializerConfigurationExtensions.cs#L27

It's just setting the serializer to use, which also adds it to the supported serializer collection.

I'd love to see protocol buffers supported as a separate serializer assembly, but part of the main development project. If you have an existing MT2 project that is using protocol buffers, I'd be happy to take a look and help port it over to MT3.

Hi Chris,

I don't have an implementation for MT2 as we started directly working with MT3.

As such I can do the changes in MT3 and issue a pull request? You can then port it to MT2 if you need to.
