Why should I use this?

The binary format that this export plugin uses is (in theory) 100% compatible with the XML serialization format that is used by JaxoDraw natively. Therefore, from a functional point of view, these two methods are completely equivalent.

Why use this plugin then? There are two possible advantages:

• it's faster, especially for large graphs.
• the created files are smaller, especially for large graphs.

The disadvantage is that, unlike the XML serialization, it is not possible to hand-edit the created files, as they are not human-readable.
