Binary protocol

A binary protocol is a protocol which is intended to be read by a machine rather than a human being, as opposed to a plain text protocol such as IRC, SMTP, or HTTP/1.1. Binary protocols have the advantage of terseness, which translates into speed of transmission and interpretation.

Binary protocol is also used in the context of a protocol between exactly two parties, in contrast to a multi-party protocol. Binary protocol, or binary collaboration have been used in the terminology of standards such as EbXML, HTTP/2 and EDOC.[1] An interface in UML [2] may also be considered a binary protocol.
