|
| 6 | The Flow-Based Programming network protocol (*FBP protocol*) has been designed primarily for flow-based programming interfaces like the [Flowhub](https://flowhub.io) to communicate with various FBP runtimes. However, it can also be utilized for communication between different runtimes, for example server-to-server or server-to-microcontroller.

|
| 105 | ## Basics
|
| 106 |
|
| 107 | The FBP protocol is a message-based protocol that can be handled using various different transport mechanisms. The messages are designed to be independent, and not to form a request-response cycle in order to allow highly asynchronous operations and situations where multiple protocol clients talk with the same runtime.
|
| 108 |
|
| 109 | There are currently three transports utilized commonly:
|
| 110 |
|
| 111 | * [Web Messaging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Messaging) (`postMessage`) for communication between different web pages or WebWorkers running inside the same browser instance
|
| 112 | * [WebSocket](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket) for communicating between a browser and a server, or between two server instances
|
| 113 | * [WebRTC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC) for peer-to-peer communications between a runtime and a client
|
| 114 |
|
| 115 | Different transports can be utilized as needed. It could be interesting to implement the FBP protocol using [MQTT](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQ_Telemetry_Transport), for instance.
|
| 116 |
|
| 117 | ### Sub-protocols
|
| 118 |
|
| 119 | The FBP protocol is divided into sub-protocols for each of the major resources that can be manipulated:
|
| 120 |
|
| 121 | * [`runtime`](#runtime-protocol): communications about runtime capabilities and its exported ports
|
| 122 | * [`graph`](#graph-protocol): communications about graph changes
|
| 123 | * [`component`](#component-protocol): communications about available components and changes to them
|
| 124 | * [`network`](#network-protocol): communications related to running a FBP graph
|
| 125 | * [`trace`](#trace-protocol): communications related to tracing a FBP network
|
| 126 |
|
| 127 | ### Capabilities
|
| 128 |
|
| 129 | Not all runtimes implementation supports all features of the protocol. Also, a runtime may restrict *access* to features, either to all clients based on configuration, or based on the *secret* provided in the messages. To support this a set of **capabilities** are defined, which are reported by the runtime in the [runtime:runtime](#runtime-runtime) message.
|
| 130 |
|
| 131 | When receiving a message, the runtime should check for the associated capability. If the capability is not supported, or the client does not have access to the capability, the runtime should respond with an `error` reply on the relevant `protocol`.
|
| 132 |
|
| 133 | A few commands do not require any capabilities: the runtime info request/response ([runtime:getruntime](#runtime-getruntime) and [runtime:runtime](#runtime-runtime)), and the error responses ([runtime:error](#runtime-error), [graph:error](#graph-error), [network:error](#network-error), [component:error](#component-error)).

| 365 | ### Message structure
|
| 366 |
|
| 367 | This document describes all messages as the data structures that are passed. The way these are encoded depends on the transport being used. For example, with WebSockets all messages are encoded as stringified JSON.
|
| 368 |
|
| 369 | All messages consist of three parts:
|
| 370 |
|
| 371 | * Sub-protocol identifier (`graph`, `component`, or `network`)
|
| 372 | * Topic (for example, `addnode`)
|
| 373 | * Message payload (typically a data structure specific to the sub-protocol and topic)
|
| 374 |
|
| 375 | The keys listed in specific messages are for the message `payload`.
|
| 376 |
|
| 377 | An example message
|
| 378 | ```
|
| 379 | "protocol": "graph",
|
| 380 | "command": "addnode",
|
| 381 | "payload": {
|
| 382 | "component": "canvas/Draw",
|
| 383 | "graph": "hello-canvas-example",
|
| 384 | "id": "draw",
|
| 385 | "metadata": {
|
| 386 | "label": "Draw onto canvas element"
|
| 387 | }
|
| 388 | }
|
| 389 | ```
