1//! # Streaming Response Types for Chat API Models
2//!
3//! This module defines the data structures used for processing streaming
4//! responses from chat completion APIs. These types are specifically designed
5//! to handle Server-Sent Events (SSE) data chunks where responses arrive
6//! incrementally.
7//!
8//! ## Key Differences from Standard Responses
9//!
10//! Unlike regular chat completion responses, streaming responses:
11//! - Contain `delta` fields instead of complete `message` objects
12//! - Arrive as multiple chunks over time
13//! - Include partial content that gets assembled client-side
14//! - May contain reasoning content for models with thinking capabilities
15//!
16//! ## Streaming Protocol
17//!
18//! The streaming implementation expects SSE-formatted data with:
19//! - `data: ` prefixed lines containing JSON chunks
20//! - `[DONE]` marker to signal stream completion
21//! - Optional usage statistics on the final chunk
22//!
23//! ## Decoding a chunk
24//!
25//! ```
26//! use zai_rs::model::chat_stream_response::ChatStreamResponse;
27//!
28//! let chunk: ChatStreamResponse = serde_json::from_str(
29//! r#"{"id":null,"choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"Hello"}}]}"#,
30//! )?;
31//! assert_eq!(chunk.choices[0].delta.as_ref().unwrap().content.as_deref(), Some("Hello"));
32//! # Ok::<(), serde_json::Error>(())
33//! ```
