Weave Documents

Technical specifications, presentations, and white papers for Weave protocols and related functionality.

Document Description
Weave Architecture A high-level overview of the Weave architecture.

White papers

Document Description
Weave TLV Describes the motivation, rationale, and competitive analysis that went into the creation and definition of the Nest Weave: Tag Length Value (TLV) data representation format. In the competitive analysis, comparisons are made against alternative representations such as JSON, Google Protocol Buffers, ASN.1, EXI, Apache Thrift, and CBOR along a number of evaluation criteria.
