The `xcm` crate was renamed to `staging-xcm` to be able to publish it to crates.io as someone as squatted `xcm`. The problem with this rename is that the `TypeInfo` includes the crate name which ultimately lands in the metadata. The metadata is consumed by downstream users like `polkadot-js` or people building on top of `polkadot-js`. These people are using the entire `path` to find the type in the type registry. Thus, their code would break as the type path would now be [`staging_xcm`, `VersionedXcm`] instead of [`xcm`, `VersionedXcm`]. This pull request fixes this by renaming the path segment `staging_xcm` to `xcm`. This requires: https://github.com/paritytech/scale-info/pull/197 --------- Co-authored-by: Francisco Aguirre <franciscoaguirreperez@gmail.com>
Substrate runtime api
The Substrate runtime api is the crucial interface between the node and the runtime.
Every call that goes into the runtime is done with a runtime api. The runtime apis are not fixed.
Every Substrate user can define its own apis with
decl_runtime_apis and implement them in
the runtime with impl_runtime_apis.
Every Substrate runtime needs to implement the [Core] runtime api. This api provides the basic
functionality that every runtime needs to export.
Besides the macros and the [Core] runtime api, this crates provides the [Metadata] runtime
api, the [ApiExt] trait, the [CallApiAt] trait and the [ConstructRuntimeApi] trait.
On a meta level this implies, the client calls the generated API from the client perspective.
