SDXF
open-in-new
<p>SDXF (Structured Data eXchange Format) is a <a href="/facts/Data_serialization/T00auFvv">data serialization</a> format defined by RFC 3072. It allows arbitrary structured data of different types to be assembled in one file for <a href="/facts/Data_exchange/sRJxD46S">exchanging</a> between arbitrary computers. </p><p>The ability to arbitrarily serialize data into a self-describing format is reminiscent of <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a>, but SDXF is not a text format (as XML) — SDXF is not compatible with text editors. The maximal length of a datum (composite as well as elementary) encoded using SDXF is 16777215 bytes (one less than 16 <a href="/facts/Megabyte/RBF4XpWb">MB</a>). </p>
