Yeah, I kinda figured. I did put a disclaimer on that, plus OP sounded smart enough to understand about reaching into storage tier directly and bypassing "business logic" layer. > Is this optmization really important on nowadays machines ? Yes. Nobody's figured out how to beat the kiss principle yet, and whether today's focus is on energy consumption, maintenance costs, or whatever, it always tends to boil down to that in the end. Optimization aside, if all you want is to send or receive a chunk of data over http, xml is nothing but overhead. If you want rpc, you probably need things xml-http-rpc doesn't do. If you look around, most people who use that stuff are the ones who paid megabucks to oracle/ibm. The rest of us do json mashups over restful API -- so much so that even w3c got off its xml horse, finally.
