Hi,
I am looking into the differences between "BINARY" and "XML" serialization. Here are the sentances i have got from web. I have NOT understood the concept clearly. Can you please explain ?
A notable difference between Binary serialization and XML serialization is that Binary serialization preserves instance identity while XML serialization does not. In other words, in Binary serialization the entire object state is saved while in XML serialization only some of the object data is saved. Binary serialization can handle graphs with multiple references to the same object; XML serialization will turn each reference into a reference to a unique object.
This sentance makes me crazy:
Binary serialization can handle graphs with multiple references to the same object; XML serialization will turn each reference into a reference to a unique object.
What is graph ???????? Can you please explain more clearly ? Appreciate your time and patience !!
