Performance Optimization

XML Serialization

This library uses XmlSerializer for XML serialization/deserialization. By default, serialization assemblies are generated at runtime on first use, which causes a minor performance penalty (<100ms) during the first API call for each request/response type.

Pre-generating Serializers (Optional)

For better startup performance, you can pre-generate the XML serializers using the included script:

# After building your project
./generate-serializers.sh

This script works around a known issue with Microsoft.XmlSerializer.Generator that occurs when multiple .NET runtime versions are installed.

Alternative: Runtime Warm-up

If you prefer not to use the script, you can warm up the serializers during application initialization:

// Warm up common serializers
_ = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SaleRequest));
_ = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SaleResponse));
// Add other types you frequently use
