Message content

ION supports multiple message content types. The content format determines how the message is parsed, validated, and routed through the integration flow. These formats are commonly used in ION channels and Document Flows:

• BOD – An XML-based Business Object Document that follows Infor’s standardized business object schema.
• JSON – Used for application-specific messages, including conventional JSON structures and newline-delimited JSON for high-volume data.
• DSV – Delimiter-separated values such as CSV, PSV, TSV, or other structured textual formats.
• ANY – Unstructured or opaque payloads that ION transports without inspection, allowing producing applications to define their own formats.

Message producers must use content formats supported by ION, and the consuming applications must handle the content according to their own validation and processing logic. This ensures consistent behavior across ION integrations.
