moq_json/lib.rs
1//! JSON publishing over [`moq-net`](moq_net) tracks, in three modes:
2//!
3//! - [`snapshot`]: **lossy**. One JSON value updated over time; a consumer only gets the most
4//! recent value. Intermediate updates are collapsed and older groups are dropped.
5//! - [`stream`]: **lossless**. An ordered append-log of self-contained records; every record is
6//! preserved and delivered in order, nothing is ever superseded.
7//! - [`window`]: **bounded**. An ordered run of records appended to the back and dropped from the
8//! front, which a reader can join at any point.
9//!
10//! Pick [`snapshot`] when consumers care about "what is the value now" (a catalog, a status
11//! document), [`stream`] when they care about every record of an unbounded log, and [`window`] when
12//! the publisher retires old records and a late reader should start from what is still retained.
13//!
14//! Each mode comes in two layers. `Producer`/`Consumer` own a [`moq_net`] track and manage its
15//! groups. `Encoder`/`Decoder` are the same logic without the track: values in, frame payloads out
16//! (and back), with the encoder saying where the group boundaries fall. Reach for the codec layer
17//! when something else already owns the track, such as a `moq_mux::container::Producer` also
18//! managing a timeline and a catalog estimate.
