Trait Encode 

pub trait Encode: Send + Sync {
    // Required method
    fn encode(&self, message: &dyn Any) -> Result<EncodedPayload, EncodeError>;
}

A type-erased encoder used by the registry.

Implementors take the captured message as &dyn Any so the registry can dispatch by std::any::TypeId without naming the concrete type at the call site. Most callers build encoders with TypedEncoder rather than implementing this trait directly.

Required Methods

fn encode(&self, message: &dyn Any) -> Result<EncodedPayload, EncodeError>

Encodes the supplied message into canonical payload bytes plus sidecar indices.

Errors

Returns an error if message does not match the encoder’s expected type, or if the encoder fails internally.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
