Cross-Language Interop

The examples/cross-language/ directory demonstrates Rust and Node.js exchanging binary data through Vexil-encoded .vxb files.

How it works

1. A shared .vexil schema defines the data types
2. The Rust program encodes data to a .vxb binary file
3. The Node.js program reads the same .vxb file and decodes it
4. Both sides produce and consume byte-identical wire format

This works because all Vexil backends (Rust, TypeScript, Go) implement the same deterministic encoding rules, verified by compliance vectors.

Running

cd examples/cross-language

# Build and run the Rust encoder
cd rust-device
cargo run

# Run the Node.js decoder
cd ../node-reader
npm install
npm start
