XBUP - eXtensible Binary Universal Protocol - About

# Welcome to XBUP Project!

The XBUP Project is an attempt to design unified general binary data format and to provide an open-source libraries and tools for it.

This should provide following advantages:

- Advanced Data Structures - Unified structure should allow to combine various types of data together
- Flexibility - General framework should provide data transformations/processing and compatibility issues solving capability
- Comprehensibility - Catalog of data types, metadata, relations and abstraction should allow better understanding of data
- Efficiency - Optional compression and encryption on multiple levels should allow effective representation of binary data

Free and open source prototype implementation in Java is currently underway. More in development section.
