..net serialization (1.1 and 2.0); xml serialization (1.1 and 2.0); soap
serialization (1.1 and 2.0); XAML serialization; DataContract serialization;
NetDataContractSerialization. Probably a few others scatterered throughout
..net.

Which can be used in un-trusted code; which can be used in browser
applications; which preserve topology; which provide serialization contexts
for use when programattically flattening non-tree-based document models.

Is anyone aware of a reference that provides an analysis of the relative
merits and drawbacks of each of the many serialization frameworks in .net.
The last time I battled with serialization (in 1.1) I didn't fare very well.
