Subject: [Boost-users] boost serialisation file size comparison

I have written some test for the different kind of serialization archives
in my application.
In the test below the only difference is the kind of archive used
( and use of ios::binary for the binary streams)
ANode:: ...test_node_tree_persistence_text file_size:
4014
ANode:: ...test_node_tree_persistence_binary file_size:
5351
ANode:: ...test_node_tree_persistence_portable_binary file_size: 2878
What I don't understand is why should the binary archive serialization
file size be larger than text ?
