The ATS Bus Cloud bus stop offers two channels that exchange information with Azure IoT Hub and Azure Event Hubs.
The Azure IoT Hub channel acts as an IoT device. It can send Device2Cloud messages to the IoT Hub and it can receive Cloud2Device messages from it. The messages between the IoT Hub channel and the Azure IoT Hub are JSON formatted. The channel converts the message from XML to JSON right before it is sent to the IoT Hub and it converts the message from JSON to XML right after it is received from the IoT Hub. The channel uses the standard NewtonSoft library to do this.

The Azure Event Hubs channel extracts the B2MML data from the subscribed bus message and forwards it to the Azure Event Hubs. The channel only supports the download direction, sending data to Azure. The Event Hubs channel exchanges the data with the Event Hubs in an XML format.
