Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for an overall object mode that allows for a single message object to represent multiple messaging formats. A general message object is populated with fields for multiple available messaging formats, which can be appropriately filled with information with fields for both versions 1.1 and 1.2. Depending on which version is being used or desired, the appropriate fields can be populated when creating an instance of the message object. The other fields that do not correspond to that version, however, are left blank.
