ANML Foundation
A machine-first markup language for agent-to-agent and agent-to-service communication.
ANML (Agentic Notation Markup Language) is a machine-first markup language designed for the agentic web, enabling structured communication between autonomous agents and services. It supports dual serialization in both XML and JSON, and encodes content, intent, interactions, privacy constraints, and workflow state in a single document. The project is currently in Internet-Draft status (draft-jeskey-anml-01).
ANML documents (called 'duckuments') define content, interactions, knowledge exchange, constraints, state, and persona guidance in a single XML or JSON file that agents can interpret directly with minimal inference.
