Adapters are the language boundary for Saikuro. They expose a familiar API in each language while speaking the same wire protocol.

Choose a language

Adapter responsibilities

Each adapter handles:

  • Envelope encoding/decoding and transport I/O
  • Provider and client ergonomics for its language
  • Stream and channel state at the caller API boundary
  • Consistent error mapping (code, message, optional details)

The runtime handles routing, schema enforcement, capability checks, and dispatch policy.

Shared model

All adapters expose the same primitives:

  • call: request/response invocation
  • cast: fire-and-forget invocation
  • stream: server-to-client async sequence
  • channel: bidirectional async message flow
  • batch: multiple invocations in one envelope
  • resource: handle-based stateful operations
