.. WARNING::
The format of events can change depending on room version. Check the
`room version specification`_ for specific details on what to expect for
event formats. Examples contained within the client-server specification
are expected to be compatible with all specified room versions, however
some differences may still apply.
For this version of the specification, clients only need to worry about
the event ID format being different depending on room version. Clients
should not be parsing the event ID, and instead be treating it as an
opaque string. No changes should be required to support the currently
available room versions.
