It is not face.send(data), it is face.send(encoding). This is a legacy method to send a raw packet through the face which has already been encoded. As you point out, the correct method to use is face.putData(data) which encodes the Data object and performs other checks.

Good morning community,

can someone explain me the difference between face.putData(data) and face.send(data)?

I know that face.putData(data) is used to put data which satisfies an interest packet (and I always thought that it was enough to send a data packet to the consumer).
In the ndn-js examples I studied, face.send(data) is not used.

So what is the role of face.send(data) compared with face.putData(data)?

Thank you.
Giuseppe.
