Wire Compatibility

Feel free to add your notes to this topic below.

Wire Compatibility is a reference to two distinct and different systems being able to communicate over a network. It could be akin to saying they speak the same language. On the surface this may seem rather simple to obtain, but the reality is more complex when you consider the different simple datatypes and encodings used by different systems. Consider Endianness (ordering of bits within bytes), line terminators (CR, CRLF, LF) and Unicode encodings, all of which can vary from platform to platform.

Wire Compatibility is one of the many features provided by RemObjects SDK as it allows applications developed on Windows, .NET, Linux, Mac, etc. to communicate and interoperate to create a larger and more powerful system.
