============
UBF is the "Universal Binary Format", designed and implemented by Joe
Armstrong. See http://www.sics.se/~joe/ubf.html for full details. A
really short summary:
Armstrong. UBF is a language for transporting and describing complex
data structures across a network. It has three components:
* UBF(A) is a protocol above a stream transport (e.g. TCP/IP), for
encoding structured data roughly equivalent to well-formed XML.
* UBF(A) is a "language neutral" data transport format, roughly
equivalent to well-formed XML.
* UBF(B) is a programming langauge for describing types in UBF(A)
and protocols between clients and servers. This layer is
typically called the "protocol contract". All data sent by both
the client and the server is verified by the contract manager (an
Erlang process on the "server" side of the protocol). Any data
that violates the contract is
UBF(B) is roughly equivalent to to Verified XML, XML-schemas,
SOAP and WDSL.
typically called the "protocol contract". UBF(B) is roughly
equivalent to Verified XML, XML-schemas, SOAP and WDSL.
* UBF(C) is a meta-level protocol used between a UBF client and a
UBF server.
