RFC 5031 (The Interface Definition Language)

RFC 5031 describes an Interface Definition Language (IDL) that standardizes how software components communicate with each other, particularly across different programming languages. By providing a clear structure for defining interfaces, it helps developers create compatible systems that can interact seamlessly. This standardization simplifies the process of integrating different software parts, making it easier to develop complex applications. Essentially, it acts like a common language, allowing diverse systems to understand and work with each other efficiently.
