With this PR it is now possible to retrieve the native data-types for fields without explicit conversion for data-formats that inherently know the type. These formats are JSON (
xpath_json
), MessagePack (xpath_msgpack
) and Protocol-buffers (xpath_protobuf
). If you enable native types by settingxpath_native_types = true
and query a float field (e.g.value = "//myvalue
) you will now get a float64 value for that field without explicit conversion required before (value = "number(//myvalue)
). This can be helpful when dealing with multiple message types, sharing the same field name, but do have different types...
