No external information is passed via this, composed to using rss/xml/etc. Prime benefit is easyness of use; say you have a PHP page which should display latest threads.
Would it be easier to just open a file, unserailize its contents, and use the array (around 3 lines of code); or, open a file, create your own array parsing xml data (30+ lines)? You decide for yourself, personally I find the previous option a lot easier.
