  2. Comparison of data-serialization formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data...

    ^ The netstrings specification only deals with nested byte strings; anything else is outside the scope of the specification. ^ PHP will unserialize any floating-point number correctly, but will serialize them to their full decimal expansion. For example, 3.14 will be serialized to 3.140 000 000 000 000 124 344 978 758 017 532 527 446 746 826 ...

  3. Protocol Buffers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers

    For example, x has the tag 1. The "Line" and "Polyline" messages, which both use Point, demonstrate how composition works in Protocol Buffers. Polyline has a repeated field, and thus Polyline behaves like a set of points (of unspecified number). This schema can subsequently be compiled for use by one or more programming languages.

  4. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    For example, 32 contiguous bits may be treated as an array of 32 Booleans, a 4-byte string, an unsigned 32-bit integer or an IEEE single precision floating point value. Because the stored bits are never changed, the programmer must know low level details such as representation format, byte order, and alignment needs, to meaningfully cast.

  5. Serialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization

    Flow diagram. In computing, serialization (or serialisation, also referred to as pickling in Python) is the process of translating a data structure or object state into a format that can be stored (e.g. files in secondary storage devices, data buffers in primary storage devices) or transmitted (e.g. data streams over computer networks) and reconstructed later (possibly in a different computer ...

  6. Marshalling (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshalling_(computer_science)

    Marshalling is similar to or synonymous with serialization, although technically serialization is one step in the process of marshalling an object.. Marshalling is describing the overall intent or process to transfer some live object from a client to a server (with client and server taken as abstract, mirrored concepts mapping to any matching ends of an arbitrary communication link ie.

  7. Data conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion

    For example, a word processor may convert an RTF file to a WordPerfect file by converting the RTF to OpenDocument and then that to WordPerfect format. An image conversion program does not convert a PCX image to PNG directly; instead, when loading the PCX image, it decodes it to a simple bitmap format for internal use in memory, and when ...

  8. Source-to-source compiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-source_compiler

    It will perform automatic code refactoring which is useful when the programs to refactor are outside the control of the original implementer (for example, converting programs from Python 2 to Python 3, or converting programs from an old API to the new API) or when the size of the program makes it impractical or time-consuming to refactor it by ...

  9. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    For example, in the Pascal programming language, the declaration type MyTable = array [1.. 4, 1.. 2] of integer, defines a new array data type called MyTable. The declaration var A: MyTable then defines a variable A of that type, which is an aggregate of eight elements, each being an integer variable identified by two indices.
