Fast Infoset
Another example of alternative XML technologies to optimize the size of XML documents can be founded here.
| The Fast Infoset standard draft (currently being developed as joint work by ISO/IEC JTC 1 and ITU-T) specifies a binary format for XML infosets that is an efficient alternative to XML. An instance of this binary format is called a fast infoset document. Fast infoset documents are analogous to XML documents. Each has a physical form and an XML infoset. Fast infoset documents are, given the results presented, faster to serialize and parse, and smaller in size, than the equivalent XML documents. Thus, fast infoset documents may be used whenever the size and processing time of XML documents is an issue. |
Great work!. I think that this type of technologies are very useful. However XML is XML and, is not the case, one of the most remarkable capabilities is readability. All technology providers can be very careful with this aspect.
