SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Align API contracts and SSE streams between backend and frontend to prevent integration drift and mismatches across deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document and version SSE event formats, endpoints, and polling fallbacks for frontend integration.
  • Validate client parsing and maintain backward compatibility during contract changes.
  • Use Case: Update the agent/chat stream contract and ensure existing clients gracefully handle new events and reconnect logic.

Quick Start

Update the SSE contract to include a new status event and test that the frontend parser handles it without breaking existing flows.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent API and SSE integration drift between backend and frontend deployments?

To prevent API and SSE integration drift, standardize and evolve the API-SSE contract to align endpoint formats, SSE event structures, and reconnect logic safely across deployments.

What is the best way to update an SSE event format without breaking existing frontend parsers?

The best way to update an SSE event format safely is to validate client parsing, document before and after contracts, and enforce test scenarios to maintain backward compatibility.

How does SSE reconnect and polling fallback logic work for chat streams?

SSE reconnect and polling fallback logic for chat streams works by defining standardized contract rules for disconnects, retries, and error events that both backend and frontend parsers must handle.

Do I need to document before and after contracts to maintain SSE client version compatibility?

Yes, you need to document before and after contracts to maintain SSE client version compatibility, ensuring existing clients gracefully handle new events without breaking current flows.

What test scenarios should I run when changing SSE stream contracts for agent or chat applications?

When changing SSE stream contracts for agent or chat applications, you should run a minimal set of test scenarios covering success states, error handling, and disconnect or retry behavior.

Can I use this approach to validate polling fallback logic for frontend SSE integrations?

Yes, you can use this approach to validate polling fallback logic for frontend SSE integrations by enforcing contract documentation and parser validation for reconnect and fallback mechanisms.
