# Producing messages

Build the canonical envelope with `Make`, encode it to JSON with `Encode`, then
publish the bytes with your own broker client.

```go
import babelqueue "github.com/babelqueue/babelqueue-go"

env, err := babelqueue.Make(
    "urn:babel:orders:created",
    map[string]any{"order_id": 1042, "amount": 99.90},
    babelqueue.WithQueue("orders"),
)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

body, _ := env.Encode() // []byte of compact UTF-8 JSON
// redisClient.RPush(ctx, "queues:orders", body)
//   /  ch.PublishWithContext(ctx, "", "orders", false, false, amqp.Publishing{Body: body})
```

`Encode` emits the canonical `schema_version: 1` envelope, with `meta.lang` set
to `"go"`:

```json
{
  "job": "urn:babel:orders:created",
  "trace_id": "7b3f9c2a-e41d-4f88-9b2a-1c0d5e6f7a8b",
  "data": { "order_id": 1042, "amount": 99.90 },
  "meta": { "id": "f1e2d3c4-b5a6-4789-90ab-cdef01234567", "queue": "orders", "lang": "go", "schema_version": 1, "created_at": 1749132727000 },
  "attempts": 0
}
```
