11/// `SpanExporter` defines the interface that protocol-specific exporters must
12/// implement so that they can be plugged into OpenTelemetry SDK and support
13/// sending of telemetry data.
14///
15/// The goal of the interface is to minimize burden of implementation for
16/// protocol-dependent telemetry exporters. The protocol exporter is expected to
17/// be primarily a simple telemetry data encoder and transmitter.
