10 things to change in your thinking about XML protocols
Jun 21st, 2006 by Phil Dawes
This post hits the nail on the head. I’ve been blathering on about some of this stuff at work* for a while: Don’t tie your protocol to your programming language, protocol is the most important thing in a distributed system, make data as simple/flexible/loosely-coupled as possible, don’t constrain yourself with schemas. Now I’ve got something to link to.
N.B. I don’t think this is just applicable to protocols - also data storage. Serialized objects and O-R mapping tools can seriously louse up your data if you’re not careful.
* usually to people that aren’t interested
