XDR Filter Primitives

The XDR standard translates both basic and constructed data types. For basic data types such as integer, XDR provides basic filter primitives that:

• Serialize information from the local host's representation to XDR representation

• Deserialize information from the XDR representation to the local host's representation

For constructed data types, XDR provides constructed filter primitives that allow the use of basic data types (such as integers and floating-point numbers) to create more complex constructs (such as arrays and discriminated unions).
