# bokeh.protocol

Implement and provide message protocols for communication between Bokeh Servers and clients.

class `bokeh.protocol.``Protocol`(version)

  Provide a message factory for a given version of the Bokeh Server message protocol.

  Parameters: | version (str) – a string identifying a protocol version, e.g. “1.0”

  `assemble`(header_json, metadata_json, content_json)

    Create a Message instance assembled from json fragments.

    Parameters: | header_json (`JSON`) – metadata_json (`JSON`) – content_json (`JSON`) –
    Returns: | message

  `create`(msgtype, *args, **kwargs)

    Create a new Message instance for the given type.

    Parameters: | msgtype (str) –

## bokeh.protocol.exceptions

Provide named exceptions having to do with handling Bokeh Protocol messages.

exception `bokeh.protocol.exceptions.``MessageError`

  Indicate an error in constructing a Bokeh Message object.

  This exception usually indicates that the JSON fragments of a message cannot be decoded at all.

exception `bokeh.protocol.exceptions.``ProtocolError`

  Indicate an error in processing wire protocol fragments.

  This exception indicates that decoded message fragments cannot be properly assembled.

exception `bokeh.protocol.exceptions.``ValidationError`

  Indicate an error validating wire protocol fragments.

  This exception typically indicates that a binary message fragment was received when a text fragment was expected, or vice-versa.

## bokeh.protocol.message

Provide a base class for all Bokeh Server Protocol message types.

Boker messages are comprised of a sequence of JSON fragments. Specified as Python JSON-like data, messages have the general form:

    [
        # these are required
        b'{header}',        # serialized header dict
        b'{metadata}',      # serialized metadata dict
        b'{content},        # serialized content dict

        # these are optional, and come in pairs; header contains num_buffers
        b'{buf_header}',    # serialized buffer header dict
        b'array'            # raw buffer payload data
        ...
    ]

The `header` fragment will have the form:

    header = {
        # these are required
        'msgid'       : <str> # a unique id for the message
        'msgtype'     : <str> # a message type, e.g. 'ACK', 'PATCH-DOC', etc

        # these are optional
        'num_buffers' : <int> # the number of additional buffers, if any
    }

The `metadata` fragment may contain any arbitrary information. It is not processed by Bokeh for any purpose, but may be useful for external monitoring or instrumentation tools.

The `content` fragment is defined by the specific message type.

class `bokeh.protocol.message.``Message`(header, metadata, content)

  The Message base class encapsulates creating, assembling, and validating the integrity of Bokeh Server messages. Additionally, it provide hooks

  `add_buffer`(buf_header, buf_payload)

    Associate a buffer header and payload with this message.

    Parameters: | buf_header (`JSON`) – a buffer header buf_payload (`JSON` or bytes) – a buffer payload
    Returns: | None
    Raises: | `MessageError`

  classmethod `assemble`(header_json, metadata_json, content_json)

    Creates a new message, assembled from JSON fragments.

    Parameters: | header_json (`JSON`) – metadata_json (`JSON`) – content_json (`JSON`) –
    Returns: | Message subclass
    Raises: | `MessageError`

  `assemble_buffer`(buf_header, buf_payload)

    Add a buffer header and payload that we read from the socket.

    This differs from add_buffer() because we’re validating vs. the header’s num_buffers, instead of filling in the header.

    Parameters: | buf_header (`JSON`) – a buffer header buf_payload (`JSON` or bytes) – a buffer payload
    Returns: | None
    Raises: | `ProtocolError`

  classmethod `create_header`(request_id=None)

    Return a message header fragment dict.

    Parameters: | request_id (str or None) – Message ID of the message this message replies to
    Returns: | a message header
    Return type: | dict

  `send`(*args, **kwargs)

    Send the message on the given connection.

    Parameters: | conn (WebSocketHandler) – a WebSocketHandler to send messages
    Returns: | number of bytes sent
    Return type: | int

  `write_buffers`(*args, **kwargs)

    Write any buffer headers and payloads to the given connection.

    Parameters: | conn (object) – May be any object with a `write_message` method. Typically, a Tornado `WSHandler` or `WebSocketClientConnection` locked (bool) –
    Returns: | number of bytes sent
    Return type: | int

  `complete`

    Returns whether all required parts of a message are present.

    Returns: | True if the message is complete, False otherwise
    Return type: | bool

      [
          # these are required
          b'{header}',        # serialized header dict
          b'{metadata}',      # serialized metadata dict
          b'{content},        # serialized content dict

          # these are optional, and come in pairs; header contains num_buffers
          b'{buf_header}',    # serialized buffer header dict
          b'array'            # raw buffer payload data
          ...
      ]

  The `header` fragment will have the form:

      header = {
          # these are required
          'msgid'       : <str> # a unique id for the message
          'msgtype'     : <str> # a message type, e.g. 'ACK', 'PATCH-DOC', etc

          # these are optional
          'num_buffers' : <int> # the number of additional buffers, if any
      }

  The `metadata` fragment may contain any arbitrary information. It is not processed by Bokeh for any purpose, but may be useful for external monitoring or instrumentation tools.

  The `content` fragment is defined by the specific message type.

  `consume`(*args, **kwargs)

    Consume individual protocol message fragments.

    Parameters: | fragment (`JSON`) – A message fragment to assemble. When a complete message is assembled, the receiver state will reset to begin consuming a new message. callback (callable, optional) – Argument required by `return_future` decorator

## bokeh.protocol.versions

Provide definitions for Bokeh WebSocket prototol versions.

A protocol specification is a sequence of tuples of the form:

    (
        (<message_type>, <revision>),
        (<message_type>, <revision>),
        ...
    )

Where `<message_type>` is string that identifies a message type, e.g, `'ACK'`, `'SERVER-INFO-REQ'`, etc. and `<revision>` is an integer that identifies what revision of the message this version of the protocol uses.

A protocol version is a string of the form `'<major>.<minor>'`. The guidelines for updating the major or minor version are:

`<major>`
  bump when new messages are added or deleted (and reset minor version to zero)
`<minor>`
  bump when existing message revisions change

`bokeh.protocol.versions.``spec`

  A mapping of protocol versions to protocol specifications.

      {
          "1.0" : (
              ("ACK", 1),
              ("OK", 1),
              ("ERROR", 1),
              ("EVENT", 1),
              ('SERVER-INFO-REPLY', 1),
              ('SERVER-INFO-REQ', 1),
              ('PULL-DOC-REQ', 1),
              ('PULL-DOC-REPLY', 1),
              ('PUSH-DOC', 1),
              ('PATCH-DOC', 1)
          ),
      }
