Sun worked hard to make serialization efficient -- not easy since it's
so intensely dependent on reflections, but they succeeded fairly
well. I suspect that Android hasn't invested nearly as much in making
reflections efficient.

Actually, while I don't disagree with the advice Mark gave, he's not correct
about what Java serialization is designed for, nor is there any issue of
byte-code compatibility here, because Java serialization does not have
anything whatsoever to do with byte codes.

Yes, much better option.

*Will the android client*
*be able to demarshall the object? The reason I ask is that someone informed
me that android*
*does not use the java virtual machine and so and isn't byte-code compatible
at all.*
Thanks indeed.

The answer is; not necessarily.
It is best described here:

In other words: Don't serialize.
Another reason is that it's relatively slow on Android. Use the Parcelable
interface instead.

OTOH, I have to agree, that avoiding serialization as described in
your link is best. But if you really do need serialization, if you
really cannot get buy with Mark's idea of using the SQL database
instead, if even the Parcelable interface is not good enough for you,
then instead of using XML,
But how can it be an 'option' for communication. REST is only an
architecture, not a complete communications solution. REST alone
cannot solve a communications problem.
