External Data Representation (XDR) is an IETF standard from 1995. It allows data to be wrapped in an architecture independent manner allowing data to be transferred between heterogeneous computer systems. Converting from the local representation to XDR is called encoding. Converting from XDR to the local representation is called decoding. XDR is implemented as a software library of functions which is portable between different operating systems and is also independent of the transport layer.
