# Message-Utils
Here you can find all the libraries related to the message structure for transmitting [`FarmToad-IoT-Messages`](#message-structure)
## Swift-MessageUtils
It's a library in swift to serialize and deserialize a
message. However, it has been only carefully tested for
**Serialization** of the message and **Deserialization**
without signature checks.
## Typescript-MessageUtils
It's a Typescript library (Compatible with JavaScript too) that aims
to offer only the **Deserialization** along a **Signature Check**.
However, here it is not offered any type of **Serialization** feature
as deemed unnecessary during the development of the project.
# Message Structure
Messages were left with a broad margin for versions, signatures, and
fields, to ensure a high degree of flexibility in the project.
Here it is described the message structure for each
`FarmToad-IoT-Messages`.

## Key
**MUST** be a `String`
## Value
It's up to the Application to decide whether the value is
a string or another type of datum
