Native serialization uses a binding-specific wire format and the owning runtime's native type system. It is not one shared cross-language protocol.
Use native mode for same-runtime traffic that needs language-specific object shapes, migration from a host serializer, or a smaller/faster format without xlang type-mapping constraints. Use xlang mode whenever a different runtime must read the bytes.
Each runtime page owns its exact object model, schema rules, configuration, extension APIs, and diagnostics. Native payloads from different runtime families are not interchangeable.
