Binding / Talking method between language.

Generally, service communication uses a REST approach with HTTP and TCP protocols and XML or JSON as the serialization format. From an interface perspective, it is about embracing the web design approach. But nothing stops you from using binary protocols or your own data formats.

Method

RPC with Interface description language

A software developer defines:

in a description file following the grammar of an interface description language.

Source code is generated from that description for generating or parsing a stream of bytes that represents the structured data.
