True binary data is not supported by XML directly unless you encode your text. If you plan on sending binary data XML is not a good choice.

If you must use binary data, make sure that CHR(0) is encoded as an entity. wwXML does this, but you may have to explicitly decode it on the other end.

As Erik suggested if you go VFP both ways EncodeDBF/DecodeDBF is a better choice if you have binary data.
