Abstract

XML is a widely-used technology for interoperable data representation, and its scope of usage has widened even more in recent years. However, this expansion of XML's application areas has identified limitations and inefficiencies that seem inherent in XML due to its verbosity and redundancy. Because of this, various industry groups and standardization organizations have undertaken to define alternate representations of XML data to better address their needs while still retaining compatibility with XML. This paper provides an overview of the arguments in favor of a binary format in scientific computing, of work done in this area by the W3C, and some benchmarks comparing XML with various processing techniques available with binary formats.
