XML PROCESSING. NO PARSING

Abstract

The main properties considered lacking from XML for a potentially efficient interchange format are Compactness and Processing Efficiency, and Parsing being the main deterrent to Processing Efficiency. The proposed Contiguous Memory Tree (CMT) and its XML API completely resolve Parsing and Processing Efficiency permitting an efficient interchange format for XML. CMT is based on the presentation of XML documents as a tree that contiguously resides in memory and is simultaneously a stream that can be directly copied as a message and an application object that can be directly accessed through the CMT XML API. CMT XML API does not need to read and evaluate markup or decode information items that takes much CPU time when processing, thus is significantly more efficient than any existing formatting schemes, SAX and DOM parsers.
