AMF encodes remote procedure calls (RPC) +into a compact binary representation that can be transferred over HTTP/HTTPS +or the RTMP/RTMPS protocol. Objects and data values are serialized into this +binary format, which increases performance, allowing applications to load data +up to 10 times faster than with text-based formats such as XML or SOAP. + +AMF3, the default serialization for ActionScript 3.0, provides various +advantages over AMF0, which is used for ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0. AMF3 sends +data over the network more efficiently than AMF0. AMF3 supports sending int +and uint objects as integers and supports data types that are available only +in ActionScript 3.0, such as ByteArray, ArrayCollection, and IExternalizable. + +WWW: http://pyamf.org/ |
