# Server Channels

> The one channel the server opens on the scope: its half of each daemon connection a connector opens, announced under an id the server minted.

Canonical: https://protocol.diverge.network/2.3.0/endpoints/daemons-accept/server/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The server opens exactly one kind of channel on an accept scope. Its
channel request carries no tag: the payload is the request itself, as
JSON.

| Tag | Channel |
|-----|---------|
| — | [connection](/2.3.0/endpoints/daemons-accept/server/connection/) |

The channel request is defined by `diverge-sdk-rs/src/provider/endpoints/daemons/accept/server/channel_request/frame.rs`:

```rust
//! What a server's channel request frame carries on an accept scope.

use crate::shared::daemons::Connection;
use crate::wire::decode::Decode;
use crate::wire::encode::{Encode, Writer};

/// A connector arrived: the provider's half of its connection.
///
/// What arrives on the channel is the daemon's answer — its server
/// frames, one per channel response — and the daemon finishing the
/// channel is the daemon hanging up; a finish with nothing before it
/// is the daemon declining. The daemon's own half is a channel it
/// opens, quoting the id this carries.
///
/// # A struct, and no tag
///
/// One thing to ask is a struct; an enum of one variant would be a
/// discriminant with nothing to discriminate — and a tag byte is that
/// discriminant written on the wire, so it goes for the same reason.
/// The payload is the [`Connection`] as JSON.

impl Encode for Frame {
    /// The ordinary JSON failure.
    type Error = serde_json::Error;

    fn encode(&self, out: &mut Writer<'_>) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
        serde_json::to_writer(out, &self.0)
    }
}

impl Decode<'_> for Frame {
    /// The ordinary JSON failure.
    type Error = serde_json::Error;

    fn decode(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
        serde_json::from_slice(bytes).map(Frame)
    }
}
