Its two tools share a rule: the same input should give the same bytes and the same result. Canon, in Rust, applies that rule to data. Memo, in Go, applies it to work.</p> <p><a href="https://bxm.net/why-signed-json-breaks-and-how-a-canonical-encoding-fixes-it/">BXM Canon</a> is a binary encoding where every value has exactly one valid form. Two programs that write the same data get the same bytes, so a hash or signature made on one machine still checks out on another. The decoder refuses anything that isn&rsquo;t that one form. <a href="https://bxm.net/bxm-0.1.0-launches-with-canon-and-memo-two-open-source-tools-for-repeatable-results/">Version 0.1.0</a> shipped a Rust library, a command and a C API, plus a short spec and 60 conformance vectors. The same core then went to JavaScript as WebAssembly <a href="https://bxm.net/bxm-canon-0.2.0-brings-the-same-bytes-to-javascript-with-one-rust-core-compiled-to-webassembly/">in 0.2.0</a> and to Python <a href="https://bxm.net/bxm-canon-0.3.0-adds-python-with-ints-floats-and-bytes-kept-apart-and-the-same-hash-as-every-other-build/">in 0.3.0</a>. Every language runs one implementation, so there&rsquo;s no second one to drift.</p>
