Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) uses the DataContractSerializer as its default serialization engine to convert data into XML and to convert XML back into data. The DataContractSerializer is designed to serialize data contract types.
DataContractSerializer as the Default By default WCF uses the DataContractSerializer class to serialize data types.
For an introduction to data contracts, see Using Data Contracts. When deserializing XML, the serializer uses the XmlReader and XmlWriter classes. It also supports the XmlDictionaryReader and XmlDictionaryWriter classes to enable it to produce optimized XML in some cases, such as when using the WCF binary XML format.
It is the binding defined for the given endpoint which specifies the serialization mechanism. For example:
basicHttpBinding and wsHttpBinding use SOAPnetTcpBinding uses binary serializationwebHttpBinding could use XML, Json, ...You can read more about the different built-in bindings and their properties on this article. Thanks to the extensibility of WCF you could of course write your own custom bindings.
