Extensible Binary Meta Language
RFC 8794, “Extensible Binary Meta Language”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2020 by S. Lhomme, D. Rice, M. Bunkus. It has since been updated by RFC 9559. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the Extensible Binary Meta Language (EBML) format as a binary container format designed for audio/video storage. EBML is designed as a binary equivalent to XML and uses a storage-efficient approach to build nested Elements with identifiers, lengths, and values. Similar to how an XML Schema defines the structure and semantics of an XML Document, this document defines how EBML Schemas are created to convey the semantics of an EBML Document.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
