Why is binary serialization considered faster than xml serialization?
Binary serialization is more efficient because write raw data directly and the XML needs format, and parse the data to generate a valid XML structure, additionally depending of what sort of data have your objects the XML may have a lot of redundant data.
Advantages of Binary SerializationObject can be de-serialized from the same data you serialized it to. enhanced performance as it is faster and even more powerful in the sense that it provides support for complex objects, read only properties and even circular references.
XML serialization has some limitations. It converts public property values and fields, but does not encode type information. Also it does not encode private properties and fields, which requires binary serialization. Any class to be serialized to XML must have a public, parameterless constructor.
XML serialization can also be used to serialize objects into XML streams that conform to the SOAP specification. SOAP is a protocol based on XML, designed specifically to transport procedure calls using XML. To serialize or deserialize objects, use the XmlSerializer class.
