Hi, I'm new to SOAP/web services so please tolerate me if my question looks naive. Supposed I'm serialize/deserialize an object containing an ID (integer), a name (string), and a value (double).
I guess I am supposed to serialize it to somthing like this: <myobj> <id>23</id> <name>nnnn</name> <value>11.111</value> </myobj> But of course I could serialize it as: <myobj>23$$nnnn$$11.1111</myobj> As long as my serializer and deserializer works with each other I guess the second approach works just fine. But the second one can hardly be called XML. Can someone tell me what is the disadvantage? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
