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

• Array
  An array whose length is encoded with an i32.
• Boolean

• CompactArray
  An array whose length is encoded with a varint.
• CompactBytes
  A sequence of bytes that is encoded with a u32 or a varint, depending on size.
• CompactString
