Performance evaluation of object serialization libraries in XML, JSON and binary formats

This paper compares twelve libraries of object serialization from qualitative and quantitative aspects. Those are object serialization in XML, JSON and binary formats. Using each library, a common example is serialized to a file. The size of the serialized file and the processing time are measured during the execution to compare all object serialization libraries. Some libraries show the performance penalty. But it is clear that there is no best solution. Each library makes good in the context it was developed.
