Martin Atkins	6b4ed241d3	docs: Provider protocol wire format for values ... Although we have in this same directory the protocol buffers schemas for the static parts of the provider wire protocol, many of the protocol messages include DynamicValue messages that are presented in a nested dynamic serialization format. That format was previously not documented, and was thus defined only by the implementation. Terraform happens to use a third-party library to implement parts of this encoding, which means that the rules were even harder to track down from reading the code. Regardless of how Terraform happens to implement its serialization and deserialization of DynamicValue, it's the wire format that is contractual and so this document is an implementation-agnostic description of the mapping rules for serializing any Terraform Language value by reference to a provider-defined schema. All future changes to the rules described in here must be backward compatible until protocol major version 6, which is not currently planned.	6 years ago
