Depending on the performance of the FI encoder & decoder it might even be slow in terms of reading and writing...

There will be an advantage if the compression is better than the encoding of FI.. Resulting message size can be smaller depending on the content.. (I'm not a expert in compression, but this is how I feel). In the real transmissions over the net, message size can become the crucial factor for speed. >but binary xml should perform better when it is > serializing and de-serializing.

AFAIK FI puts it's indexes using integers, which can be represented much efficiently using a binary format than using a text format.. IMHO eventhough it's less efficient than GZIP it will still be valuable, in order to support transports which do not support GZIP.. thanks, Thlina > > If what Dennis claims is true (binary xml is slow in Axis2) in his > earlier mail, then we have a serious problem of using fast infoset. > Either our implementation is not correct (I don't think so) or fast > infoset readers and writers are slow. > > Thanks, > Eran Chinthaka > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFG/vExjON2uBzUhh8RAhhkAKCS7ton+Z7JQGJ3XXS1hQLH93flpgCgsEes > bbhuMCW6KRHM/YdXYLwjyog= > =inc8 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Thilina Gunarathne - http://thilinag.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
