| Definition
| IDL is a language for describing object interfaces using their events, methods, names, parameters, and return types. An IDL compiler uses the IDL information to generate code for passing data between computer systems. The Microsoft IDL compiler (MIDL) compiles Microsoft IDL—COM IDL—generating the type libraries and the proxy and stub code for marshaling parameters between COM interfaces.
