_section: Application Binary Interface @NAV<ABI>
|
|
|
|
An **Application Binary Interface** (ABI) is a collection of
|
|
[Fragments](abi-fragment) which specify how to interact with
|
|
various components of a Contract.
|
|
|
|
An [[abi-interface]] helps organize Fragments by type as well
|
|
as provides the functionality required to encode, decode and
|
|
work with each component.
|
|
|
|
Most developers will not require this low-level access to encoding
|
|
and decoding the binary data on the network and will most likely
|
|
use a [[contract]] which provides a more convenient interface. Some
|
|
framework, tool developers or developers using advanced techniques
|
|
may find these classes and utilities useful.
