This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a set of Basic XML Encoding Rules (XER) that may be used to derive a transfer syntax for values of types defined in ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1 and ITU-T Rec. X.681 | ISO/IEC 8824-2. This Recommendation | International Standard also specifies a set of Canonical XML Encoding Rules which provide constraints on the Basic XML Encoding Rules and produce a unique encoding for any given ASN.l value. It is implicit in the specification of these encoding rules that they are also used for decoding.
The encoding rules specified in this Recommendation | International Standard:
- are used at the time of communication;
- are intended for use in circumstances where displaying of values and/or processing them using commonly available XML tools (such as browsers) is the major concern in the choice of encoding rules;
- allow the extension of an abstract syntax by addition of extra values for all forms of extensibility described in ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1.
