Re: Is using XmlSerializer the right choice?

Hi,

You can decide if you would use the XmlSerializer or not based on how you
want to design your classes; because XmlSerializer imposes certain
restrictions on your classes desings. Mainly, you must have a default
constructor and you must have getters and setters on all properties that you
want to serialize, if that is the way you are building your class, then use
the XmlSerializer, otherwise if you feel unhappy with these restrictions,
then you can go your own way.
