Introducing BERT and BERT-RPC

Simon Willison - Simon Willison - October 22, 2009

Introducing BERT and BERT-RPC. Justification for inventing a brand new serialisation protocol: Thrift and Protocol Buffers both use IDLs and code generation, XML “is not convertible to a simple unambiguous data structure in any language I’ve ever used” and JSON lacks support for unencoded binary data. The result is BERT—Binary ERlang Term—which extracts a format from Erlang in much the same way that JSON extracted one from JavaScript.

I really like BERT a lot. It’s simple to use and implement. It has cut quite a bit of time off my building and coding. Portia, fulfillment companies

BERT is certainly a lot more simpler to use but I am concerned about the lack of uniform standards in its imlpementation. Liquid XML Editor
