18//! Rust runtime library for the Apache Thrift RPC system.
19//!
20//! This crate implements the components required to build a working
21//! Thrift server and client. It is divided into the following modules:
22//!
23//! 1. errors
24//! 2. configuration
25//! 3. protocol
26//! 4. transport
27//! 5. server
28//! 6. autogen
29//!
30//! The modules are layered as shown in the diagram below. The `autogen'd`
31//! layer is generated by the Thrift compiler's Rust plugin. It uses the
32//! types and functions defined in this crate to serialize and deserialize
33//! messages and implement RPC. Users interact with these types and services
34//! by writing their own code that uses the auto-generated clients and
35//! servers.
36//!
