Remarks Any message can have property values. Only map messages and stream messages can have fields. Field Description type A one-byte indicator of the field’s datatype; for values, see Table 10 below. size The size of the data (in bytes). Zero is a special value, indicating that the size is unknown. count If the data is an array, this value is the number of elements in the array. data The actual data in the field, or the property value.
