About a year(?) ago I was pointed to a binary protocol which can encode<br>
strings, numbers, lists (maybe some more data types like map), and<br>
cannot rember its name nor find a reference.<br>
<br>
I remember is it encodes a string by prefixing it with its length. Every<br>
data type has its number. The protocol is designed to be as simple as<br>
possible to implement with as small area as possible for implementation<br>
mistakes.<br>
<br>
I also remember protocol's web page was very clutter-free (black &<br>
white, with only basic HTML tags in use).<br>
<br>
It was pointed by some Erlang person in either IRC or erlang-questions<br>
as a good way to ad-hoc communicate with other, written-not-by-you<br>
components. I believe I found a use case for it.<br>
<br>
Does it ring a bell to anyone?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Motiejus<br>
