Abstract

As a result of the research it was determined the scope of application of modern data serialization protocols. Necessity for such work is due to the fact that currently there are many serialization protocols such as JSON, XML, Protobuf, presenting data in rows and binary serialization, which leads to errors of developer when selecting the most optimal serialization. After analyzing all the advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned protocol it was done conclusions about an application of these protocols for software development.

It is shown when you can use a simple and very popular serialization method using flat lines or simple binary serialization. The article answers the question under any circumstances it is used more sophisticated serialization, such as XML, JSON and new protocol Protobuf, shows the scope of application of these protocols. Its strengths and vulnerabilities are given that will help the developer of automated systems to choose the most effective one for his application.

The results are important on the stage of choosing competent technical solution about serialization by software developer, which increases the speed and security of data.
