EXI format can be used in practice and how options can be set to
achieve specific needs. Section 2.
Concepts describes the structure of an EXI document and
introduces the notions of EXI header, EXI body and EXI grammar
which are fundamental to the understanding of the EXI format.
Additional details about data type representation, compression, and
their interaction with other format features are presented.
Finally, Section 3. Efficient XML

                        <p>The Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format defines a new
representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information
Set. The introduction of such a format may cause disruption in
systems that have so far been able to assume XML as the only
representation of XML Information Set data. This document reviews
areas where the introduction of EXI may disrupt or otherwise have
an impact on existing XML technologies, XML processors, and
applications. It also describes EXI design features and steps that
may be taken by implementors to reduce or eliminate disruption and
impacts.</p>

to support interoperable information exchanges using EXI. While
intended primarily as a practical guide for systems architects and
programmers, it also presents information suitable for the general

                        <p>This Working Group Note presents measurement results of various
high-performance XML interchange encoding formats and their associated
processors, made by the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group. The
measurements have been conducted following the recommendations of the XML Binary Characterization (XBC)
Working Group. In particular, this draft covers measurements of the
properties of "compactness", "processing
efficiency" and "roundtrip
support", as defined by the XBC WG. We start by describing the context in
which this analysis is being made, and the position of an efficient format in
the landscape of high performance XML strategies. Then we describe the
measured quantities in detail and the test framework in which they were made,
and give a short description of each format. Finally, a summary of the
	  results and the conclusions of the group are included.  The
	  full measurements and analysis are included in an appendix and supporting
	    documents.</p>
                        <p>As a result of the measurements described here, the working group selected
Efficient XML ([EffXML]) to be the
	  basis for the proposed encoding specification to be
prepared as a candidate W3C Recommendation. Follow up work has centered
around integrating some features from the other measured format technologies,
particularly variations for both more efficient structural and value
encodings. </p>
