# EncodeObject

> The JavaScript representation of Cosmos SDK messages in CosmJS

In CosmJS, the JavaScript representation of a type-URL-tagged message is an
`EncodeObject`:

```typescript theme={"system"}
interface EncodeObject {
  readonly typeUrl: string;
  readonly value: any;
}
```

You construct one by pairing a type URL with a partial Protobuf message:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { MsgSend } from "cosmjs-types/cosmos/bank/v1beta1/tx";
import { coins } from "@cosmjs/proto-signing";

const msg: EncodeObject = {
  typeUrl: "/cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend",
  value: MsgSend.fromPartial({
    fromAddress: "cosmos1sender...",
    toAddress: "cosmos1recipient...",
    amount: coins(1_000_000, "uatom"),
  }),
};
```

## Typed Encode Objects

CosmJS also provides **typed encode objects** for common messages. These narrow
the `typeUrl` to a string literal and constrain `value` to the correct Protobuf
type, giving you compile-time safety:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { MsgSendEncodeObject } from "@cosmjs/stargate";

const msg: MsgSendEncodeObject = {
  typeUrl: "/cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend",
  value: MsgSend.fromPartial({ ... }),
};
```
