Message Format Language
Message Format Language (MFL) is a BEA proprietary language describing the layout of binary data, which defines rules to transform the formatted binary data into XML data.{{Cite web |title=Using the AquaLogic Service Bus Console: MFLs |url=https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13171_01/alsb/docs25/consolehelp/mfls.html |access-date=2024-10-21 |website=Oracle}} It is a subset of XML.
MFL can be used by the Oracle Service Bus (OSB) to assist in the creation of service types as part of service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementations.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}
