hi, The format over the wire is not of great significance because it gets unmarshalled into the corresponding language object as soon as it comes out of the wire. I would say XML/JSON should meet 99% of the requirements because all the platforms come with an unmarshaller for both of these.
But,If it can offer good performance improvement it is worth trying. --Noble On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 3:41 AM, alexander lind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Feb 20, 2008, at 9:31 AM, Doug Steigerwald wrote: > > > A few months back I wrote a YAML update request handler to see if we > > could post documents faster than with XMl.
