| // Package vdl implements the Vanadium Definition Language type and value |
| // system. |
| // |
| // Concept: https://vanadium.github.io/concepts/rpc.html#vdl |
| // Specification: https://vanadium.github.io/designdocs/vdl-spec.html |
| // |
| // VDL is an interface definition language designed to enable interoperation |
| // between clients and servers executing in heterogeneous environments. E.g. it |
| // enables a frontend written in Javascript running on a phone to communicate |
| // with a backend written in Go running on a server. VDL is compiled into an |
| // intermediate representation that is used to generate code in each target |
| // environment. |
| // |
| // The concepts in VDL are similar to the concepts used in general-purpose |
| // languages to specify interfaces and communication protocols. |
| package vdl |
