Automated encoding of field operators

A computing device, comprising:

• an input device to receive a first input value associated with a first data field,
• one or more processors, and
• an encoder module, executable by the one or more processors, to:
• responsive to determining that the first data field is associated with a delta operation, selecting, by the computing device, a second input value associated with a corresponding second data field of a previously transmitted message sent from the computing device, wherein the second input field corresponds to the first input field;
• comparing, by the computing device, the first input value and the second input value to determine if at least some data of the first input value and at least some data of the second input value are equivalent;
• when at least some data of the first input value and at least some data of the second input value are not equivalent,
• generating, by the computing device, a message comprising the first data field, wherein the first data field includes only data of the first input value that is not included in data of the second input value, and
• providing, by the computing device, an operator symbol indicating the delta operation to specify that the first data field of the message includes only the data of the first input value that is not included in the data of the second input value associated with the second data field of the previously transmitted message.

A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a computing device to:

• receive a first input value associated with a first data field;
• responsive to determining that the first data field is associated with a delta operation, select a second input value associated with a second data field of a previously transmitted message sent from the computing device, wherein the second input field corresponds to the first input field;
• compare the first input value and the second input value to determine if at least some data of the first input value and at least some data of the second input value are equivalent;
• when at least some data of the first input value and at least some data of the second input value are not equivalent,
• generate a message comprising the first data field, wherein the first data field includes only data of the first input value that is not included in data of the second input value, and
• provide an operator symbol indicating the delta operation to specify that the first data field of the message includes only the data of the first input value that is not included in the data of the second input value associated with the second data field of the previously transmitted message.
