# Description This breaks `nu-plugin` up into four crates: - `nu-plugin-protocol`: just the type definitions for the protocol, no I/O. If someone wanted to wire up something more bare metal, maybe for async I/O, they could use this. - `nu-plugin-core`: the shared stuff between engine/plugin. Less stable interface. - `nu-plugin-engine`: everything required for the engine to talk to plugins. Less stable interface. - `nu-plugin`: everything required for the plugin to talk to the engine, what plugin developers use. Should be the most stable interface. No changes are made to the interface exposed by `nu-plugin` - it should all still be there. Re-exports from `nu-plugin-protocol` or `nu-plugin-core` are used as required. Plugins shouldn't ever have to use those crates directly. This should be somewhat faster to compile as `nu-plugin-engine` and `nu-plugin` can compile in parallel, and the engine doesn't need `nu-plugin` and plugins don't need `nu-plugin-engine` (except for test support), so that should reduce what needs to be compiled too. The only significant change here other than splitting stuff up was to break the `source` out of `PluginCustomValue` and create a new `PluginCustomValueWithSource` type that contains that instead. One bonus of that is we get rid of the option and it's now more type-safe, but it also means that the logic for that stuff (actually running the plugin for custom value ops) can live entirely within the `nu-plugin-engine` crate. # User-Facing Changes - New crates. - Added `local-socket` feature for `nu` to try to make it possible to compile without that support if needed. # Tests + Formatting - 🟢 `toolkit fmt` - 🟢 `toolkit clippy` - 🟢 `toolkit test` - 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

nu-plugin-protocol
This crate provides serde-compatible types for implementing the Nushell plugin protocol. It is primarily used by the nu-plugin family of crates, but can also be used separately as well.
The specifics of I/O and serialization are not included in this crate. Use serde_json and/or rmp-serde (with the named serialization) to turn the types in this crate into data in the wire format.
