Abstract

Future Web applications will be based on XML platform. CSS is a tool used to create different XML presentations’ layouts in the heterogeneous set of client devices, which often have limited resources. In this paper, design and implementation of an optimized CSS engine are described. At first, the optimization algorithm is explained, and then the implementation of the CSS engine and its integration within an XML browser are described. Measurements taken with real Web XML documents styled with CSS style sheets show performance improvements of the optimization.
