IceRPC Slice files

June 4, 2026 · View on GitHub

This directory provides Slice definitions shared by all IceRPC implementations.

SubdirectoryDescription
IceRpcTypes provided by all IceRPC implementations. These types are IceRPC-specific.
IceRpc/IceTypes and interfaces provided for interop with Ice applications. They are defined using Ice's original Slice language.
IceRpc/**/InternalTypes used by IceRPC implementations to implement the ice protocol, the icerpc protocol, the Slic protocol and more. These are internal IceRPC implementation details—applications built with IceRPC don't need to see these definitions.
WellKnownTypesCustom types such as Uri and TimeStamp. These well-known types are RPC-independent.

The copy of record for these Slice files is in this repository. Each IceRPC implementation is expected to create its own exact clone of these Slice files. For example, see the sync-slice.py Python script in icerpc-csharp.
