IDL for CORBA

IDL, or Interface Definition Language, is a specialized language used in the context of CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) to define the interfaces that software components use to interact with each other. Think of IDL as a blueprint that specifies the methods and data types that different software components (often written in different programming languages) need to understand to communicate effectively. By using IDL, developers can ensure that their systems can work together seamlessly, regardless of the underlying technology, making it easier to build complex, distributed applications.
