Hi!I need to serialize some collection objects (NSDictionaries, NSSets, etc) to save them in the DB. I'm doing some performance tests based on the Chuck's book page 43 note.I have tried with the NSPropertyListSerialization and java Serialized stuff (as instructed on the Apple's note http:// docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75173&coll=ap).For serializing and unserializing the same dictionary 100000k times, I have:NSData length: 667 String length: 326Property list serialization took 12272 milisecs, average 0.12272 per dict.NSData serialization took 49137 milisecs, average 0.49137 per dict. (Note average values are in milisecs/dict, not secs/dict. There is two things here that actually amazed me: 1) String is shorter than binary by a factor of 2; 2) String is a lot faster than binary. I admit I was expecting the opposite.Facing this, I ask: string serialization is faster, shorter and human readable. Is there any dark reason why I should use binary serialization and not text?Yours Miguel Arroz Miguel Arroz http://www.terminalapp.net http://www.ipragma.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
