c# - Should I use XML or Binary to send data from server to client? -


I have two separate apps - one client (in C #), one server (C ++) They want to exchange data as "structs" and a minute of ~ 1 MB data is sent from the server to the client.

What's better - XML ​​or my own binary format?

With XML:

  • Translation will be slow to XML using XML using parsets, I believe?
    • Compact data size
  • No need for meta information like tags;
  • But the strokes can not be easily changed to include new strokes / new members in the strokes in the future;
  • No conversions are necessary for binary (straight) from the text (XML), so to get and "gather" is faster in a single stream)

Any hint? Am I not considering binary? Have a bit confused about what the approach is taking.

1 MB of data is very low per minute if you have a proper network connection.

There are other options between binary and XML - other human-readable text serialization formats, such as JSON.

When it comes to binary, is - for the problems of the variants - technologies (I am biased: I work for Google and I have it) clearly

If you are worried about performance, then you should measure it with backward and forward compatibility. I am pretty sure that phone can adequately parse 1 MB XML because there is no problem in this case ... basically you are concerned about: < Li> Code of Simplification

  • Interoperability
  • Display in CPU case
  • Network traffic
  • Previous / forward compatibility
    • < Li> Human readability of on-the-wire format [/ li]

    All this is a balanced task - but you are the one who decides how many Is the weight each of these factors.

    sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

    I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

    asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

    I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
