Abstract
A method is provided for communicating data between a first process and a second process. A set of inter-process functions of the first and second processes is determined. The set includes one or more functions of the first and second processes that are accessible by the other one of the first and second processes. An API definition file is generated. The API definition file includes a plurality of objects that each define a request to execute one or more inter-process functions of the set of inter-process functions. In response to input to the first process indicating a plurality of the inter-process functions, the plurality of inter-process functions are serialized according to the API definition file. The serialized set of functions is provided to the second process, using an FFI process, and deserialized according to the API definition file.
