Build a Confluent-Compatible Schema Registry Wire Format Encoder

Problem Overview

Apache Avro omits field names from binary payloads. The Confluent Wire Format defines a universal 5-byte header prefix: [0x00 (Magic Byte)] + [4-Byte Big-Endian Schema ID].

In this landmark capstone, you will implement:

  1. 5-Byte Big-Endian Wire Encoding: Pack Schema ID and Avro payload into wire frames.
  2. Wire Decoding & Header Validation: Verify magic byte 0x00 and extract Schema ID.
