RemObjects definition language file
File type: Various data file
A .rodl file is a RemObjects Definition Language file. It stores the definition of services, interfaces, methods, data types, and related elements used by RemObjects SDK.
The file belongs to RemObjects SDK (Multiplatform) and serves as an input for developing applications that communicate with RemObjects services.

RemObjects SDK (Multiplatform), from RemObjects Software, uses RODL files to describe the contract of a service independently of a particular programming language or target platform. A RODL definition can include service interfaces, methods, parameters, exceptions, enumerations, structures, and other data types.
RemObjects is a framework for creating scalable applications, including client and server applications for various platforms. SDK tools use the definition to generate client and server-side code for supported development platforms. The RODL file is therefore part of a service project's source files rather than an executable application file.
Open a RODL file in RemObjects SDK (Multiplatform) or in the RemObjects development environment used for the related service project. The SDK can interpret the definitions and use them for code generation.
Because a RODL file is a text-based definition file, a plain-text or XML-aware editor can usually display its contents, but such an editor may not provide validation or the SDK's design and code-generation features.
RODL files are service definitions, so they do not normally have a useful standalone conversion target. To change a definition, edit it in the RemObjects SDK project and regenerate the associated client or server code.
A text editor can save the file under another text encoding or filename, but changing it to another format does not produce an equivalent RemObjects service definition.
