It seemed like there use to be way more binary protocols because of the very slow internet speeds of the time (dialup). I've been seeing everything being replaced by HTTP and SOAP/REST/XML. Why is this?
Are binary protocols really dead or are they just less popular? Why would they be dead or less popular?
