ISSUE-22: Floating point (and other heavyweight specialized encoding) differential support
Floating point (and other heavyweight specialized encoding) differential support
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- All
- Raised by:
- John Schneider
- Opened on:
- 2006-10-06
- Description:
- There is an apparent opposition in the requirements of some use-cases for floating point types, and
possibly other types. Mobile devices may well not have floating point support, such as the libraries for
encoding and decoding, for instance IEEE 754, whereas scientific data exchanges would require floating
point exchanges to be handled as efficiently as possible. Solutions revolving around negotiated exchanges
or proxies lead to limiting the effectiveness of the argument for a ubiquitous format.
