Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Java Client

The sample Java client uses Pub/Sub API to publish and subscribe to platform events. Pub/Sub API provides a single interface to publish and subscribe to event messages. Based on gRPC and HTTP/2, Pub/Sub API enables efficient delivery of binary event messages in the Apache Avro format.

The sample Java client provides enough instructions and code snippets so that you can build your own client. The examples in the Java client are for learning purposes only. The examples aren’t intended for production use and haven’t undergone thorough functional and performance testing. You can use these examples as a starting point to build your own client.
