Comparison of MIME and DIME

When Transporting binary data (such as images, files, etc) over SOAP, the required serializing and deserializing can cause a significant amount of overhead. Therefore, there are times when sending information through web services where it makes more sense to keep data intact as binary data, thereby reducing the XML parsing overhead.
