I'm not sure what this means, but no one else has replied, so: EBML is just a binary format for a tree of tagged values. Natively it supports values of type integer (signed or unsigned), floating point, string, date, or binary blob. So those basic types are easy to represent, as are arrays and dictionaries, but one needs an additional parse layer for string- or blob-encoded data to handle anything more complicated. I suppose it has the advantage of actually having a schema language over a custom format of similar complexity. -r _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
