Was that a surprise to you? I mean, it is the first and most obvious question when defining wire protocol: is the target environment homogeneous (no conversions necessary) or heterogeneous (must take care of packing, alignment and byte order). > I must convert each data type individually before it goes on the > socket. > Does anyone know of any reliable code that exists that I can easily > plug into my application? Sun XDR is an obvious candidate. How easy it is to plug into your application depends on how much you thought about the possibility that you'll need to do that. Also, depending on the amount of data, converting it to a formatted text stream and back (e.g. via JSON (www.json.org)) will probably make debugging much easier.
