FAQ “POWER TO THE EDGE”

XML API XML API Efficient XML event stream Data Data Efficient XML event streams are read/written directly via standard XML APIs FAQHow much overhead does Efficient XML introduce? Compress Decompress XML API XML API XML Compressed XML XML Data Data Traditional compression adds processing overhead for compression/decompression

FAQHow much overhead does Efficient XML introduce? • It depends on your implementation • Efficient XML 1.0 was a little slower than gzipped XML • Efficient XML 2.0 was sometimes slower, sometimes faster than XML • Efficient XML 3.0 was up to 90x faster than XML • So, with a fast implementation, it can actually decrease overhead Efficient XML 3.0 Processing Speed Examples 48x faster! 7x faster! 30x faster!

FAQWill Efficient XML break compatibility with plain-old-XML? • No • Efficient XML 3.0 detects and uses EXI when available and automatically falls-back to XML otherwise • Clients that don’t support EXI never receive it I support XML and EXI Server Client I’m sending you EXI Client I support XML I’m sending you XML

Efficient XML integration kits plug-in transparently Web Service Web Service Client Webservice code XML Binding API WS Integration Kit WS Integration Kit XML Binding API Client code XML or EXI FAQDo I have to change my code to use Efficient XML? • No. • Efficient XML plug-ins add EXI natively to web service platforms • Efficient XML proxies (HTTP, TCP and UDP) add EXI to existing applications Integration using Efficient XML Integration Kits requires no code modifications

FAQ Can I view EXI with standard XML tools? • Yes. With appropriate plug-ins and converters. XML in Internet Explorer Efficient XML in Internet Explorer This kind of transparency and tool support makes testing, debugging and using EXI far easier than other binary formats

FAQDoes Efficient XML work with XML Security? • Yes. Unlike most XML optimization technologies, Efficient XML was designed to work with existing XML Security standards and libraries, including XML Digital Signatures and XML Encryption. • AgileDelta also provides Efficient XML Digital Signature and Efficient XML Encryption products that leverage Efficient XML to eliminate well-known XML Security processing bottlenecks and increase the bandwidth efficiency of XML Security protocols.

Efficiency “POWER TO THE EDGE”

Results Efficiency = Resources What do we Mean by Efficiency? • Dictionary definition: • Acting or producing effectively with a minimum of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort. • Exhibiting a high ratio of output [results] to input [resources] • Mathematical definition: • Results include web pages, web service calls, messages, etc. • Resources include bandwidth, processor cycles, memory (code, data and heap limits), battery life, disk space, etc. • So, for example, system A is more efficient than system B if • A produces the same result as B using fewer resources • A produces more results than B using the same resources • A produces more results than B using fewer resources

Why Worry About Efficiency? • Resources cost money • Bandwidth, processor power, memory (code, data and heap), battery life, disk space, etc. • Less resources == better cost / performance ratio == lower prices and/or more profit • Many systems don’t have resources to spare • Cost sensitive, mass market devices: mobile handsets, set-top boxes, consumer electronics, game consoles, automobiles, etc. • Physical constraints: battery life, size, weight, heat, etc. • Less resources == cheaper, smaller, lighter, cooler, etc. • Faster & more scalable without more hardware

Theoretical Basis for Efficient XML • Information theory (1948: Claude Shannon) • Provides formalisms for defining theoretic optimal encoding • Defines one bit as amount of data required to differentiate between two equally likely alternatives • Tells us log2(1 / p1) bits required for data with probability p1 • Data probabilities are a function of our knowledge of the data • More knowledge == fewer bits • Knowledge about data can be gathered: • Dynamically via data analysis • Statically e.g. via schemas • Schemas define what is likely to occur, not the entire universe of discourse!

Efficient XML Approach Generalized Algorithm Use a grammar to determine the language constructs (not characters) most likely to occur at any given point in the stream Assign variable-length codes to represent most likely language constructs in fewer bits Concept works for any regular language that can be described by a grammar (e.g., XML, HTTP, CORBA IDL, Java, …) Efficient XML is specialized for XML Built-in knowledge of XML grammar Built-in knowledge of XML data types Can augment grammar and type knowledge using schemas Refines grammar knowledge based on experience Does not require accurate, complete or current schemas (schemas describe things that are likely to occur) 32
