Candid UI
Overview
The canister interface description language, often referred to as Candid or more generally as the IDL, provides a common language for specifying the signature of a canister smart contract.
Candid provides a unified way for you to interact with canister smart contracts that are written in different languages or accessed using different tools.
For example, Candid provides a consistent view of a service whether the underlying program is native Rust, JavaScript, or any other programming language.
Candid also enables different tools, such as the dfx command-line interface and the Network Nervous System dapp, to share a common description for a service.
Based on the type signature of the actor, Candid also provides a web interface that allows you to call canister functions for testing and debugging.
