'''Hessian''' is a binary HTTP-based protocol originally developed by Caucho Technology, Inc. Hessian has a companion protocol, Burlap, which is XML-based. Both protocols were originally meant to be lightweight and "use their own serialization algorithms for primitive types, collections, and so on."<ref name="JohnsonPro">{{cite book |url=http://book.javanb.com/Professional-Java-Development-with-the-Spring-Framework/BBL0070.html |title=Professional Java Development with the Spring Framework |author=Johnson, Rod; Hoeller, Juergen; Arendsen, Alef; Risberg, Thomas; Sampaleanu, Colin |publisher=Wiley Publishing, Inc |year=2005 |pages=672 |isbn=0764574833 |accessdate=18 September 2014}}</ref> Both were created despite the existence of numerous RPC ([[remote procedure call]]) protocols, which yielded an innefficient increase in binary data size during connection to a Web service.<ref name="HightowerMastering">{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=XunF69glXuwC&pg=PA179 |chapter=Chapter 9: Hessian Binary Web Service Protocol |title=Mastering Resin |author=Hightower, Richard; Gradecki, Joseph D. |publisher=Wiley Publishing, Inc |year=2003 |pages=179–198 |isbn=9780471467465 |accessdate=18 September 2014}}</ref> As the developers put it, "none met our application's needs."<ref name="ResinProtocols">{{cite web |url=http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.1/doc/hessian.xtp |title=Resin Documentation - Protocols |publisher=Caucho Technology, Inc |accessdate=18 September 2014}}</ref>

==Adaptations==
Although Hessian is primarily intended for Web services, it can be adapted for TCP traffic by using the ''HessianInput'' and ''HessianOutput'' classes in Caucho's Java implementation.
