Namespace

Channel namespaces provide a powerful way to organize and isolate communication streams within your application. Think of namespaces as folders that help you categorize channels logically, enabling better organization and access control.

Namesapces are extension of the parent channel which acts as a searate channel in itself.

Namespaces use the colon (:) separator to create hierarchical channel names:

parent-channel:namespace1

In this example, parent-channel is the main channel, and namespace1 is a sub-channel or namespace under it. You can have multiple namespaces under the same parent channel.

Enabling auto creation of namespace​

Auo-creation of namespace is disabled by default. which means while subscribing to channel, namespace subscription cannot done by ADK methods. Either namespace should be created manually under the desired channel or enable auto-creation of namespace under application settings.
