Caucho's Hessian binary protocol has been ported for Microsoft's .NET. HessianC# (www.hessiancsharp.org) represents the latest implementation of Caucho's Hessian Binary Web Service Protocol. Hessian is a lightweight, self-describing binary RPC protocol. Hessian is a lightweight alternative to the XML-based web services protocols. The Hessian makes web services usable without requiring a large framework. Because it is a binary protocol, it is well-suited to sending binary data without any need to extend the protocol with attachments. The Hessian protocol eliminates external API descriptions like WSDL. HessianC# is also available for Compact Framework. It supports IIS. It is powerful and easy to use.
