New in 10.1 – Introduction to the Any Type

In Apama 10.1, we introduced a new type any to EPL, which can hold a value of any concrete EPL type (equivalent to Object type in Java or auto in C++).

In this blog, we shall explore some of new possibilities, code simplifications and other benefits that the any type gives us. To get the full story on how any functions (what actions are available on it and similar) please refer to the samples or doc. For now, let’s look at some interesting code in the original post in the Software AG Tech Community!
