 Direct Internet Message Encapsulation

Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) is a standard developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that defines a method for encapsulating messages over the Internet. It is primarily designed to facilitate the transport of binary data alongside other types of data, such as XML or SOAP messages, commonly used in web services. DIME allows for efficient packaging of multiple types of payloads into a single transport message, which can include attachments such as images, files, or multimedia content.
