The presentation that I gave at MAX (and now linked from my blog http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin) has a discussion of choices for accessing data. 

 

I also have a discussion in there (sometime much earlier) about the GZIP compression experiments that some of our QA did.

 

The serialization that Abdul is talking about is for strongly typed classes, our XML deserializer does not currently map AS-classes to schema types, there is no wsdl2as-like functionality.

A few comments.

> * Binary transport

So is SOAP when you turn on GZIP compression in your container.  And I
would argue that binary transmission can be a bad thing too.  What if
a firewall used on a corporate environment has packet filtering turned
on.  Does that firewall have an AMF filter and did the firewall admin
know what it was?  I spent oodles of time working in CORBA.  IIOP is a
binary protocol and I cant tell you how often we bumped intot his
issue in a true distributed application.  We actually used to tunnel
the IIOP through HTTP a lot to avoid this.

> * 50% percent faster then SOAP or Webservice

Not true with GZIP turned on.

> * Automatic object serialization/deserialization

So does XML web services in Flex.
