<H4 class="dtH4">Thread Safety</H4>
<P>Public static (<b>Shared</b> in Visual Basic) members of this type are
safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are <b>not</b> guaranteed to be
thread-safe.</P>
<h4 class="dtH4">Remarks</h4>
<p> The basic idea behind space conservation is that every 'known type' is assigned a 2-byte type handle by the system. Native .NET serialization stores the complete type information with serialized object data, which includes assembly, version and tokens etc. Instead of storing such information only a type handle is stored, which lets the system uniquely identify 'known types'. A known type is a type that is registered with the <a href="NeXtreme.OpenNxSerialization.INxTypeSurrogateSelector.html">INxTypeSurrogateSelector</a>. Moreover surrogate types take care of serializing only the required information. Information related to fields and attributes is not stored as in case of native serialization. </p>
<p> From performance's perspective reflection is avoided by using surrogates for types. A type surrogate is intimate with the internals of a type and therefore does not need reflection to guess object schema. </p> For types that are not known to the system the formatter reverts to the default .NET serialization scheme. <h4 class="dtH4">Requirements</h4><p><b>Namespace: </b><a href="NeXtreme.OpenNxSerialization.Formatters.html">NeXtreme.OpenNxSerialization.Formatters</a></p><p><b>Assembly: </b>NeXtreme.OpenNxSerialization (in NeXtreme.OpenNxSerialization.dll)
