reddb-wire

Transport-agnostic protocol vocabulary for RedDB. This crate is the shared layer that reddb-server, reddb-client, and the official language drivers all depend on.

Audience

Pick reddb-wire when you need to:

• Parse a RedDB connection string (red://, reds://, grpc://, grpcs://, http://, https://, memory://, file://) into a normalised ConnectionTarget value.
• Speak the RedWire binary frame protocol — encode/decode Frame, inspect MessageKind, Flags, framing constants.

If you only need a connector that wraps a server, use the published reddb-client driver. It depends on reddb-wire for parsing and frame types.

What's inside

• conn_string — the connection-string parser. Pure function, no I/O, table-driven tests over every documented scheme/transport/query parameter.
• redwire::frame and redwire::codec — the RedWire frame layout and zstd-aware codec defined by ADR 0001.
• Constants: DEFAULT_PORT_RED, DEFAULT_PORT_GRPC, REDWIRE_MAGIC, MAX_KNOWN_MINOR_VERSION, DEFAULT_REDWIRE_PORT.
