Hello,
in bugzilla I saw, you are developing the Binary Data Transfer Format
(alternative to the XML-based format used in data collection framework).
It looks like a proprietary format for me.
Can you tell me the reasons why you decided against uusage of well
established binary communication protocols like RMI, CORBA, RPC etc.?
Is it more efficient?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Holger

Hello Stas,
thank you for your reply. Actually, I'm quite happy about the decision
to provide a binary format for data collection. :D
Of course, a binary format provides much better performance than
XML-based formats, that was not my point. I just thought it would be
less work to use an available serialisation/marshalling mechanism
instead of implementing and maintaining a proprietary one. The other
thing is, that those people, who implement a data provider for another
platform (e.g. for embedded or mobile devices) needs to implement (or
port) your proprietary format too. I think there are more arguments to
use standards, not on my mind yet.
But again, I'm quite happy with it.
Regards
Holger
