I'm a newbie to Flex and already love it. I want your opinion on XML vs CSV. I know for portability XML is the way to go but for performance I would take CSV any day. In developing in-house enterprise apps in Flex, would it be better to develop ALL http service to return CSV instead of XML? This is only between in-house servers and will not be going to any 3rd party interface, so portability is not an issue. I'm more concern about performance vs. portability, especially over https. The data will be bound to an array anyway so wouldn't it be faster at the network layer if CSV file is utilize? Are there any other network protocol designed specifically to optimize XML data transfer?
I googled XML vs. CSV but can't really find anything useful.
This is my first post here, ever, so go easy on me ...
