Hessian (Web service protocol)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hessian is a binary Web service protocol that makes Web services usable without requiring a large framework, and without learning a new set of protocols [weasel words]. Because it is a binary protocol, it is well-suited to sending binary data without any need to extend the protocol with attachments.
