Can anybody explain to me what is meant by Interface Definition Language on a high level. Why it is used and how and where. Any ebook, concrete definitions and examples will also help.
Anybody who have worked/used this please share your knowledge. No googled resource please.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Gaurav
IDL is a Interface Definition Language and is generally used for defining programming language independent interfaces. A special compiler creates interfaces (or similar) for a specific language, i.e. Java.
IDL is often used in distributed systems, for example in the UNO Framework used by OpenOffice
