writing a json object to buffer in nodejs

Question

I am trying to use amqplib a AMQP 0-9-1 library and client for Node.JS

and I have a question about buffers. How can I write a JSON object to them.

The channel.publish requires content in the form of a buffer.

And after I publish the message, when I consume them in the worker, how can I extract the message again from the buffer to get the JavaScript object back.

The message object passed to the consumer is of the form

{
  content: Buffer,
  fields: Object,
  properties: Object
}

where content is the content we passed to the publisher

Answer 1

JSON.parse(message.content)

Should work
