rather offtopic for this list. but... XML is about the most inefficient format imaginable, typically exploding your data to many times its original size, especially if it has lots of small fields what format is the data in now that you're exchanging? I'd want to use something close to the native format of the data. if performance is important, you'll want to transmit the data in binary as close to its native format as possible. if its complex structured data such as is often expressed in XML, you could look at defining a binary interchange format with JSON or ASN.1, but I'd be more inclined to roll my own simple binary message format since its just between your own two programs. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
