System and method for processing messages using native data serialization/deserialization in a service-oriented pipeline architecture

A system comprising:

• an unmarshaller implemented using a hardware processor and configured to:
• unmarshall messages having or resembling a first data format;
• determine, upon receipt of a message, that a data format of the received message is of a second data format different from the first data format;
• and
• activate, among a plurality of data format parsers for a plurality of respective data formats, a particular data format parser corresponding to the second data format of the received message in response to the second data format being different from the first data format;
• and
• the plurality of data format parsers, the particular data format parser configured to operate, upon activation by the unmarshaller, on the received message to make the received message resemble the first data format.

A machine-readable medium storing sets of processor-executable instructions, the sets of instructions comprising:

• instructions to unmarshall messages having or resembling a first data format;
• for each of a plurality of other data formats different from the first data format, a data format parser that includes instructions to operate on other messages having one of the other data formats to make the other messages resemble the first data format;
• instructions to determine that a data format of a received message is one of the other data formats;
• instructions to cause, in response to determining that the received message is one of the other data formats, execution of a respective data format parser that includes respective instructions for the determined other data format to make the received message resemble the first data format;
• and
• instructions to cause execution of the instructions to unmarshall messages having or resembling the first data format with respect to the received message that has been made to resemble the first data format.
