This document and the corresponding open-source code repositories are
|
||
based on Joe Armstrong’s original UBF site and code with an MIT
|
||
license file added to the distribution. Since then, a large number of
|
||
enhancements and improvements have been added.</p><p>UBF is a language for transporting and describing complex data
|
||
structures across a network. It has three components:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li>
|
||
UBF(a) is a "language neutral" data transport format, roughly
|
||
equivalent to well-formed XML.
|
||
</li><li>
|
||
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". UBF(b) is roughly equivalent to
|
||
Verified XML, XML-schemas, SOAP and WDSL.
|
||
</li><li>
|
||
UBF(c) is a meta-level protocol used between a UBF client and a UBF
|
||
server.
|
||
</li></ul></div><p><span class="strong"><strong>Documentation</strong></span></p><p>The <a class="ulink" href="http://github.com/norton/ubf" target="_top">UBF GitHub README</a> is a good
|
||
first step to get started quickly. Check the download, the build, and
|
||
the install instructions.</p><p>A new document <a class="ulink" href="ubf-user-guide.en.html" target="_top">UBF User’s Guide</a> is
|

currently under construction. Reading the UBF User’s Guide is
|

<span class="emphasis"><em>STRONGLY</em></span> recommended.</p><p>The documentation is in a state of change and improvement.

Contributions from the wider world are welcome. :-)</p></div></body></html>
