protocol is pretty simple, they just send a base64 encoded compressed
arrayencoded array back and forth.

GMTA :) That's become my favorite packaging method for moving stuff between standalones and servers.

While arrayEncode and arrayDecode are relatively intensive calls, for arrays less than a few MBs in size they're measured in just millisecs, ideal for processing on both ends as they're much faster than parsing XML or other hierarchical formats.

In fact, the more I look into MongoDB the more arrayEncoded data bears an inspiring similarity to BSON, but with the benefit that LiveCode is so fast I can do everything I need without a stay-resident process on the server. :) Not to mention the savings in overhead from not having to translate BSON to JSON and back again.
