Serialize in C++ then deserialize in C#?

Question

Is there an easy way to serialize data in c++ (either to xml or binary), and then deserialize the data in C#?

Answer 1

I checked out all mentioned projects like prottocol buffers, json, xml, etc. but after I have found BSON I use this because of the following reasons:

• Easy to use API
• Available in many languages (C, C++, Haskell, Go, Erlang, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, ...)
• Binary therefore very space efficient and fast (less bytes->less time)
• constistent over platforms (no problems with endianess, etc)
• hierarchical. The data model is comparable to json (what the name suggests) so most data modelling tasks should be solvable.
• No precompiler necessary
• wideley used (Mongodb, many languages)
