"ocaml_beginners"::[] output_binary_int

Folks,

What type of endianness does output_binary_int function use?
The  
platform-specific one?

Also, are there libraries for serialization compatible with
C/C++?

	Thanks, Joel

It's defined as big endian, ie. network byte order.  Note
that on a 64
bit machine the integer is truncated to 32 bits before being
output.
On a 32 bit machine of course integers can only be 31 bits.

Yes, several.

* Use SunRPC / XDR - 
http://www.ocaml-programming.de/programming/rpc.html
* Or XMLRPC - http:
//raevnos.pennmush.org/code/ocaml-xml-rpc/
* Or COM (on Windows) - 
http://caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/hump.en.cgi?contrib=343
* Use XML (eg. something like PXP - 
http://www.ocaml-programming.de/programming/pxp.html).
* Use CSV - http://merjis.com/de
velopers/csv
* Use something like YAML.
* Write your own 

Rich.

Thanks Rich! Is there some OCaml library to work with YAML
then?

There was a lot of talk about it, but I'm not sure whether
anyone got
around to making a good implementation.  Anyway, a Google
search for
"ocaml yaml" came up with:

http://whytheluckys
tiff.net/syck/

The page title mentions OCaml, but there's not much in the
body to
indicate that OCaml is supported.

There was discussion on one of the OCaml mailing lists about
it too,
but I can't find that right now ...

Rich.
