A format that writes into binary files in an efficient way using variable-length integers, strings and meta handles. Developers may derive new formats that support custom serialization of their business-related types. This may increase performance dramatically. For example, in a drawing application a new format may derive from SlimFormat to natively serialize Point and PolarPoint structs to yield faster serialization times. NFX.Serialization.Slim.SlimSlimSerializer is capable of SlimFormat-derived format injection, in which case it will automatically discover new types that are directly supported by the format.
