Module kafka_protocol::protocol::types

Raw types of the Kafka protocol, as defined by the protocol specification.

In general, most types map closely to a corresponding rust type, with the exception of a number types that use zigzag encoded to represent length as a “compact” representation.

It is unnecessary to interact directly with these types for most use cases.

Structs
