Abstract :
This paper presents a prototype application programming interface for transmitting binary data between two different languages, Java and C#, along with a standard for encoding the data types. The standard calls for big-endian data transmission with either UTF8 or UTF16 character encoding and LEB128 string length encoding. The prototype API was found to be as efficient as Java´s binary data streams and far more efficient than text based data exchange (XML, TSV, and CSV). This standard is flexible enough to support other languages such as C, C++.
