|
This document describes the structure of the Thrift protocol
|
|
without specifying the encoding. Thus, the order of elements
|
|
could in some cases be rearranged depending upon the TProtocol
|
|
implementation, but this document specifies the minimum required
|
|
structure. There are some "dumb" terminals like STRING and INT
|
|
that take the place of an actual encoding specification.
|
|
|
|
They key point to notice is that ALL messages are just one wrapped
|
|
<struct>. Depending upon the message type, the <struct> can be
|
|
interpreted as the argument list to a function, the return value
|
|
of a function, or an exception.
