This question does a good job of explaining the difference in functionality between the serializers. BinaryFormatter is fast, XmlSerializer is interoperable, etc. I know that. But what is the difference in intent? What use-case was each class designed for? In particular: Why did they decide to make XmlSerializer blind for private dat...
