What is Windows
Communication Foundation's default communication encoding on the wire?
By default, Windows
Communication Foundation uses SOAP (perhaps with some WS-* extensions),
represented on the wire in its usual text-based XML encoding. When two Windows
Communication Foundation-based services communicate with each other, however,
it makes sense to optimize this communication. All of the same features are
provided, including reliable messaging, security, and transactions, but the
wire encoding used is an optimized binary version of SOAP. Messages still
conform to the data structure of a SOAP message, referred to as its Infoset,
but their encoding uses a binary representation of that Infoset rather than the
standard angle-brackets-and-text format of XML.
