I'd contend that it's the one approach we know does scale well. The largest systems we've built, such as the web, are designed around bare data structures, rather than objects.
- dragonwriter 13y agoNo, large heterogenous systems like the web are built on serialization formats that different components within that same heterogenous system can (and do) interpret as either bare data structures, objects, or just unstructured streams of text (or binary data.)
- weavejester 13y agoSerialised data is still data - a sequence of bytes representing a JSON object is still semantically the same when it's decoded into a hash map. The information content remains the same.
