MESSAGE TRANSLATOR

Background

• Different applications have different proprietary models
• Applications expect to interact with their internal models
• Integration solutions also have their own standardised formats

Why not just use one format?

• Same format > coupling between systems
• Legacy systems

Pattern description

TLDR

Have a layer for translating messages between different layers

• Can integrate with the message_endpoint pattern
• Equivalent to adapter pattern in GOF

Layers

NOTE

Not very how useful this is but I'm just leaving it here for reference
