Dendros is a generic binary file format which combines XML's hierarchical self-documenting structure with the ability to store type-specific binary data accurately and efficiently.
The motivation behind Dendros is to aid the creation of reliable and extendable storage formats for various applications.
A full description of the Dendros file format can be found here:

If need be, any Dendros document can be encoded as XML:

Several free general purpose Dendros SDKs are available for use with COM and .NET applications.
