I’ve an application that serialize c# objects to xml file. I’m currently using the .Net XmlSerializer.

The problem I’ve, is that I need to serialize ~8000 main nodes(with 4-10 subnodes each time), and it takes me currently something like 15-20min to serialize them all.

I’ve to keep the same XML output, because the file are read by another program than mine, and I cannot make them change the way they read the file.

I’ve made some search, and I found a lot of comparison, but they all involve to use protobuf-net, which has a binary serialization.

So my question is: how can I improve this serialization time? Another serializer? Adding more attributes to my model(currently I’ve only XmlName, same for lists).

Thank you!

    If it is possible for you to change the logic of your component I would use a database to store such a big XML as serialization has not been made to store very large XML file
