Jelly protocol specification

The Jelly protocol consists of two parts: the gRPC streaming protocol and the serialization format. The serialization format is the basis for Jelly, specifying how to turn RDF data into bytes and back. The gRPC streaming protocol defines a publish/subscribe mechanism for exchanging RDF data between a client and a server, using gRPC.

See the user guide for a friendlier introduction to Jelly.
