What's the best form of Client - Server communication?

Question

I am currently programming a 2D Multiplayer RPG with Unity and working with strings that are sent between client and server and im thinking... Isnt there a better way to communicate between the two parties? If so please tell me your thoughts :)

Answer 1

I guess binary, json and XML are other options.

Answer 2

Sonic how do you communicate via XML or Json? That sounds kind of interesting

Answer 3

I mean im looking for a way that can be adapted easily to new commands or changes

Answer 4

That's called a protocol and I'm afraid you'll have to create your own or use an existing, e.g. http (message oriented).
