RE: XML and Binary Serialization

XML Serialization serializes the object into an xml file. This file is human readable and can be shared with other applications.
Binary serialization is more efficient, but the serialized file is in binary format. It may not make any sense for a human being to open this file and understand what it contains. It is a stream of bytes. |
