<h1>Extensible Data Serialization</h1>

<h2>Abstract</h2>

The OSSP xds library is generic and extensible encoding and decoding
framework for the serialization of arbitrary ISO C data types. OSSP
xds consists of three components: the generic encoding and decoding
framework, a set of shipped engines to encode and decode values in
certain existing formats (Sun RPC/XDR and XDS/XML are currently
provided), and a run-time context, which is used to manage buffers,
registered engines, etc. The library is designed to allow fully
recursive and efficient encoding/decoding of arbitrary nested data.

The purpose of OSSP xds is to encode data in a way that allows this
data to be exchanged between different computer systems. Assume you
would want to transfer the value 0x1234 from host A to host B. Then you
would encode it using B<OSSP xds>, transfer the encoded data over the
network, and decode the value again at the other end. Every program that
follows this process will read the correct value no matter what native
representation is uses internally.

<p>
OSSP xds consists of three components: The generic encoding and decoding
framework, a set of engines to encode and decode values in a certain format,
and a run-time context, which is used to manage buffers, registered engines,
etc.
