In the 90s, most of the Delphi program was always connected to the database server, in a fully-connected scenario. In this situation, dataset serialization was a nice topic. Today, the software world is heterogeneous—different operating systems, programs, and languages must still find a way to communicate and exchange data. We are in the IoT and big data era now!
