This is UBF-BERTRPC, a framework for integrating UBF, EBF, and Bert-RPC. This repository depends on the UBF open source repository.
This repository is experimental in nature and intended for training purposes.
To download, build, and test the ubf_bertrpc application in one shot, please follow this recipe:
$ mkdir working-directory-name
$ cd working-directory-name
$ git clone https://github.com/ubf/ubf-bertrpc.git ubf_bertrpc
$ cd ubf_bertrpc
$ make deps clean compile test
This README is a good first step.
The UBF User's Guide is the best next step. Check out http://ubf.github.com/ubf/ubf-user-guide.en.html for further detailed information.
Sample eunit tests can be found in the test/eunit directory.
UBF is the "Universal Binary Format", designed and implemented by Joe Armstrong. UBF is a language for transporting and describing complex data structures across a network. It has three components:
-
UBF(a) is a "language neutral" data transport format, roughly equivalent to well-formed XML.
-
UBF(b) is a programming language 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.
-
UBF(c) is a meta-level protocol used between a UBF client and a UBF server.
See http://ubf.github.com/ubf for further details.
Bert-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol. See http://bert-rpc.org/ for full details.
Bert-RPC is actually just a subset of UBF's binary network format implementation known as "EBF". The name "EBF" is short for "Erlang Binary Format".
