6//! Transport abstraction for A2A client requests.
7//!
8//! The [`Transport`] trait decouples protocol logic from HTTP mechanics.
9//! [`A2aClient`] holds a `Box<dyn Transport>` and calls
10//! [`Transport::send_request`] for non-streaming methods and
11//! [`Transport::send_streaming_request`] for SSE-streaming methods.
12//!
13//! Four implementations ship with this crate (two behind feature flags):
14//!
15//! | Type | Protocol | When to use |
16//! |---|---|---|
17//! | [`JsonRpcTransport`] | JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST | Default; most widely supported |
18//! | [`RestTransport`] | HTTP REST (verbs + paths) | When the agent card requires it |
19//! | `GrpcTransport` | Canonical `lf.a2a.v1.A2AService` (protobuf) | `grpc` feature; service-mesh / cross-language gRPC peers |
20//! | `WebSocketTransport` | JSON-RPC 2.0 over a persistent WebSocket | `websocket` feature; long-lived low-latency connections |
21//!
22//! [`A2aClient`]: crate::A2aClient
23//! [`JsonRpcTransport`]: jsonrpc::JsonRpcTransport
24//! [`RestTransport`]: rest::RestTransport

113///   `-32000..=-32099` for server errors; A2A assigns only a subset) collapsed
114///   to `InternalError`, and the original number was unrecoverable.
115///
116/// Known codes map through directly (carrying `data` when present). An unknown
117/// code maps to `InternalError` but the original code — and any `data` — is
118/// preserved under the error's `data` field as
119/// `{"originalCode": <n>, "data": <original>}` so nothing is silently lost.
