It seems river uses Wayland protocols for everything. Looking at i3bar-river, it seems to generate Wayland bindings. I think it's tag code could be used as a reference https://github.com/MaxVerevkin/i3bar-river/blob/master/src/wm_info_provider/river.rs

River using a different workspace model and different communication approach compared to Sway and Hyprland means this will be non-trivial to implement.

Definitely open to this, and if anybody wants to take it on go for it, but I will not be able to get to this for some time.
