interface definition language

Apache Thrift 1 Thrift is an interface definition language that is used to define and create services for numerous languages

Remote procedure call - Other RPC analogues 1 Google Protocol Buffers (protobufs) package includes an interface definition language used for its RPC protocols.

Interface description language 1 An interface description language (or alternatively, interface definition language), or IDL for short, is a specification language used to describe a software component's interface. IDLs describe an interface in a language- independent way, enabling communication between software components that do not share a language – for example, between components written in C++ and components written in Java.

Interface description language - Examples 1 Franca IDL: the open- source Franca interface definition language

Interface description language - Examples 1 Microsoft Interface Definition Language (MIDL): the Microsoft extension of OMG IDL to add support for DCOM

ISO The development of language bindings for FORTRAN and the interface definition language (IDL) of CORBA were canceled.

Object (computing) - Distributed objects 1 The object-oriented approach is not just a programming model. It can be used equally well as an interface definition language for distributed systems. The objects in a distributed computing model tend to be larger grained, longer lasting, and more service oriented than programming objects.

Object (computing) - Distributed objects 1 A standard method to package distributed objects is via an Interface Definition Language (IDL)

Object (computing) - Objects and the Semantic Web 1 OWL objects are not like standard large grained distributed objects accessed via an Interface Definition Language. Such an approach would not be appropriate for the Internet because the Internet is constantly evolving and standardization on one set of interfaces is difficult to achieve. OWL objects tend to be similar to the kind of objects used to define application domain models in programming languages such as Java and C++.

Multi-Threaded Apartment - Interface Definition Language and type libraries 1 Type libraries contain metadata to represent COM types. These types are described using Microsoft Interface Definition Language (MSIDL/IDL).

Common Object Request Broker Architecture - Overview 1 CORBA uses an interface definition language (IDL) to specify the interfaces which objects present to the outer world

Common Object Request Broker Architecture - Data By Value 1 The CORBA Interface Definition Language provides the language- and OS-neutral inter- object communication definition. CORBA Objects are passed by reference, while data (integers, doubles, structs, enums, etc.) are passed by value. The combination of Objects-by-reference and data-by-value provides the means to enforce strong data typing while compiling clients and servers, yet preserve the flexibility inherent in the CORBA problem-space.

Common Object Request Broker Architecture - Benefits 1 * Data-typing: CORBA provides flexible data typing, for example an ANY datatype. CORBA also enforces tightly coupled datatyping, reducing human errors. In a situation where Name-Value pairs are passed around, it is conceivable that a server provides a number where a string was expected. CORBA Interface Definition Language provides the mechanism to ensure that user-code conforms to method-names, return-, parameter-types, and exceptions.

Windows API - Compiler support 1 For certain classes of applications, the compiler system should also be able to handle Interface description language|IDL (interface definition language) files

GNU Classpath - Classes from the omg.org domain 1 The standard Java API contains numerous classes from the omg.org domain that are normally generated from the Interface definition language|IDL files, released by the Object Management Group

Object Data Management Group - Major components of the ODMG 3.0 specification 1 *Smalltalk Language Binding. This defined the mapping between the ODMG ODL and Smalltalk, which was based on the OMG Smalltalk binding for the OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL). The Smalltalk binding also provided a mechanism to invoke OQL.

WebMethods - History 1 The company was an early leader in developing and promoting standards for web service technologies, having pioneered XML-RPC, a precursor to SOAP, and developed WIDL (Internet Standard)|WIDL (Web Interface Definition Language), a precursor to the Microsoft-sponsored Web Services Description Language|WSDL standard.[ y/ws-soap/ Using WSL in SOAP Applications] Engineers from the company have chaired several World Wide Web Consortium|W3C working groups, and co-authored and co-edited web services standards such as W3C XML Schema|XML Schema and Web Services Description Language|WSDL

Franca IDL 1 'Franca Interface Definition Language' ('Franca IDL') is a formally defined, text- based interface description language. It is part of the 'Franca' framework, which is a framework for definition and transformation of software interfaces. Franca applies model transformation techniques to interoperate with various interface description languages (e.g., D- Bus Introspection language, Apache Thrift IDL, Fibex Services).

Microsoft Interface Definition Language 1 'Microsoft Interface Definition Language' ('MIDL') is a text-based interface description language by Microsoft, based on the DCE/RPC IDL which it extends for use with the Microsoft Component Object Model. Its compiler is also called MIDL.
