6//! Core [`A2aClient`] struct and constructors.
7//!
8//! [`A2aClient`] is the top-level entry point for all A2A protocol operations.
9//! Construct one via [`ClientBuilder`] or via the convenience
10//! [`A2aClient::from_card`] method.
11//!
12//! All A2A methods are provided by `impl` blocks in the `methods/` modules:
13//!
14//! | Module | Methods |
15//! |---|---|
16//! | [`crate::methods::send_message`] | `send_message`, `stream_message` |
17//! | [`crate::methods::tasks`] | `get_task`, `list_tasks`, `cancel_task`, `resubscribe` |
18//! | [`crate::methods::push_config`] | `set_push_config`, `get_push_config`, `list_push_configs`, `delete_push_config` |
19//! | [`crate::methods::extended_card`] | `get_authenticated_extended_card` |

32
33/// A client for communicating with A2A-compliant agents.
34///
35/// All A2A protocol methods are available as `async` methods. Create a client
36/// via [`ClientBuilder`] or the [`A2aClient::from_card`] shorthand.
37///
38/// # Example
39///
40/// ```rust,no_run
41/// use a2a_protocol_client::ClientBuilder;
42///
43/// # async fn example() -> Result<(), a2a_protocol_client::error::ClientError> {
44/// let client = ClientBuilder::new("http://localhost:8080").build()?;
45/// # Ok(())
46/// # }
47/// ```
