Cross Platform Interface Description Language (XPIDL) is the interface definition language developed by Mozilla.org to specify XPCOM interfaces.12

It is similar to the Object Management Group's CORBA IDL.1

Mozilla provides a utility xpidl that converts the IDL files into XPCOM Type Library (.xpt) files.
