Interface Definition Language

Interface Definition Language (IDL) is a specialized language used to describe the interfaces between software components, enabling them to communicate effectively. Think of it as a blueprint that defines how different programs or systems can work together. IDL specifies the functions, data types, and protocols that software modules will use, allowing developers to create compatible systems without needing to know the details of each other’s code. This facilitates cooperation and integration of diverse technologies, ensuring that different applications can exchange information seamlessly and function as a cohesive whole.
