This crate contains the traits and primitives used in the Bolt
protocol. The Message
and Value
enums are of particular importance, and are the primary units of information sent and
consumed by Bolt clients/servers.
The Message
enum encapsulates all possible messages that can be sent between client and server.
See the documentation for more details.
The Value
enum encapsulates all possible values that can be stored in data from each kind of Message
.
Structures like List
and Map
allow Value
s to be nested with arbitrary complexity.
You should rarely ever have to construct variants directly (with the exception of Value::Null
). Instead, you should
typically use Value::from
on the type you wish to convert.
See the documentation for more details.
The Serialize
and Deserialize
traits provide interfaces for converting Message
and Value
types to and from
streams of bytes, to be consumed by a compatible Bolt server.
