Best binary XML format for JavaME


Can anyone recommend a good binary XML format? It's for a JavaME application, so it needs to be a) Easy to implement on the server, and b) Easy to write a low-footprint parser for on a low-end JavaME client device.

And it goes without saying that it needs to be smaller than XML, and faster to parse.


The data would be something akin to SVG.


Solution

  • You might want to take a look at wbxml (Wireless Binary XML) it is optimized for size, and often used on mobile phones, but it is not optimized for parsing speed.
