1//! Backend-agnostic interface used by the shared HTTP handlers.
2//!
3//! Both `datapress-duckdb` and `datapress-datafusion` implement [`Backend`]
4//! against their own dataset registry / store. The generic handlers in
5//! [`crate::handlers`] and the [`crate::server::serve`] helper then drive
6//! either backend through the same code path.
