The article on serialization is relatively dated. A newer, more efficient approach would be to use the emerging W3C standard for Efficient XML Interchange [1]. There are already very good commercial implementations for .NET [2] from the company that created the Efficient XML technology.

John,

Thanks for bringing the Efficient XML Interchange standard to my attention - definitely something to keep an eye on for future development. From the brief reading I've done on your agiledelta site, it looks like you have a product that has a lot to offer software that is looking for efficient performance gains in across-the-wire operations. Definitely something I'll personally be looking into.
