External Data Representation: History & Standards

External Data Representation (XDR) is a technical standard format for data serialization, for uses such as computer network protocols. It allows data to be transferred between different kinds of computer systems. Converting from the local representation to XDR is called encoding. Converting from XDR to the local representation is called decoding. XDR is…
