Depending on the performance of the FI encoder & decoder it might even be slow in terms of reading an

My gut feeling says binary XML must be faster, as Eran said both parsing and writing should be faster. (otherwise all those people justifying binary protocols are in serious trouble ). One simple test is to do a performance evaluation of XML reading and writing using fast infoset and a convention

Thanks for the info, Sanjaya. Did you run any performance tests with this? From my testing so far, it looks like "Fast Infoset" actually runs a little /*slower*/ than text XML when client and server are on the same system. That's not exactly an impressive result. :-) - Dennis -- Dennis M.
