Saving battery on mobile devices for one.
- darklajid 12y agoWait, wait. We're talking underlying data format here. Are you saying that serializing something to JSON (or whatever you fancy here) vs. to XML .. saves battery? I mean, XMPP is certainly not the battery friendliest tech right now (elsewhere people discuss push extensions for example), but .. that's not related to the use of XML.
- hackerboos 12y agoI'm saying pushing a verbose format like XML over mobile radio signals consumes more battery.
- cplease 12y agoHaving to support a panoply of marshaling standards would suck battery more, not less. I doubt XML vs. JSON vs. YAML per se makes any substantial difference in CPU usage. You might get a little mileage in going to a compact binary format and reducing data transmission, but is that worth it?
