Serialization and Deserialization
Speaker:
Michael Lant
The topic involves the process of taking objects and streaming
them to XML and then taking the XML and streaming them back into
objects.
Michael has been working extensively with this in .Net over the
last year and has found a myriad of applications ranging from the
simple storage of data in .config files to the communication of very
complex data and commands between middleware and client
applications. The data and commands are in the form of objects
serialized to XML that are re-instantiated on either the client or the
server. Michael has used this method extensively through Web
Services to vastly simplify Web Service interfaces by reducing the
entire interface between complex client applications and
their corresponding, and equally complex middleware applications to
one or two Web Methods that invoke a wide range of process in
middleware using XML.
