MXtietue

MXtietue is a term used within the MX data interchange framework to denote a single unit of information, or data record, that can be serialized, transmitted, and stored. The name combines the MX prefix with tietue, a root used in the framework’s documentation to mean a record or entry.

Structure and content: A MXtietue typically consists of a mandatory header and an optional payload. The header includes fields such as id, type, version, timestamp, and source. The payload carries the main data content, encoded as JSON-like structures or other encodings defined by the MX framework. Optional metadata blocks may provide provenance, integrity checks, and routing hints.

Semantics and usage: Each MXtietue represents an atomic information event or an entity snapshot. The type field indicates the schema category, enabling downstream systems to validate and route records. The timestamp supports event ordering, deduplication, and historical analysis. MXtietue can be used in event streams, change data capture, or batched data transfers, depending on the integration scenario.

Encoding and processing: The MX framework supports streaming and batched processing of MXtietue. Implementations may include compression, encryption, and schema evolution through versioning. MXtietue can be nested via subrecords to express hierarchical data structures and relationships.

Interoperability and adoption: The term is used within the MX ecosystem and is referenced in developer guides and middleware documentation. While implementations vary and there is no single universal standard beyond the MX specification, MXtietue is intended to enable interoperable data records across compliant systems.

Example: A sample MXtietue might have id "t-001", type "userUpdate", timestamp "2025-07-01T12:34:56Z", and a payload containing userId "u-123" and status "active".
