6//! JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope types.
7//!
8//! A2A 0.3.0 uses JSON-RPC 2.0 as its wire protocol. This module provides the
9//! request/response envelope types. Protocol-method-specific parameter and
10//! result types live in [`crate::params`] and the individual domain modules.
11//!
12//! # Key types
13//!
14//! - [`JsonRpcRequest`] — outbound method call.
15//! - [`JsonRpcResponse`] — inbound response (success **or** error, untagged union).
16//! - [`JsonRpcError`] — structured error object carried in error responses.
17//! - [`JsonRpcVersion`] — newtype that always serializes/deserializes as `"2.0"`.
