More and more companies are considering or making the move to XML as the format they rely on for transmitting data to and from applications and web services. XML is a flexible, cross-platform, robust, commonly accepted standard that has spawned a rich ecosystem of tools, utilities, and applications that leverage its power and extensibility. Yet, even with all these strengths, XML adoption has been hampered because its sheer size and verbosity clogs networks, overwhelms smaller devices, and can slow data transmission to a crawl. Parsing XML can also consume a great deal of CPU time which reduces throughput and scalability, increasing the cost / performance ratio of your computing resources. Because the cost of adding additional bandwidth or CPU cycles to accommodate XML is often prohibitively high, many companies are simply avoiding the move to XML, and are missing out on all it has to offer.
AgileDelta's Efficient XML product line is designed specifically to solve these problems. Efficient XML products dramatically reduce the size of the XML, increase processing speed, and increase the transmission speed of XML across existing networks using an extremely compact, high performance binary XML format. And unlike traditional utilities like gzip that only compress data, Efficient XML takes knowledge that already exists within XML data to make that data smaller, faster and, well, more efficient! It simultaneously eliminates network bottlenecks and processing bottlenecks, and extends the reach of your web services and web applications to a vast array of new platforms and devices. Now cell phones, PDAs, media players, GPS receivers, and many other devices that are often constrained by battery power, processing power, or memory can participate in the XML ecosystem.
The Efficient XML data format is an Emerging Standard
Integrating Efficient XML into your applications and web services does not limit you to a closed, proprietary format. Efficient XML was selected by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) as the basis for the emerging global Efficient XML Interchange standard for binary XML. AgileDelta is working closely with the W3C to define all elements of this open standard, and our Efficient XML products will completely track the standard. This means you can incorporate Efficient XML into your web service or application with the confidence that you can share your data with virtually any device or workstation anywhere, anytime. And Efficient XML works seamlessly with workstations that are not equipped with Efficient XML - through its powerful content negotiation feature, it will pass regular text XML through to those workstations or devices without user intervention.

Flexible Installation Options
Efficient XML can be installed in a variety of ways to supercharge your web service or XML-enabled application. It includes a variety of popular XML APIs that allow smooth, simple integration directly into your application. Or, if you prefer to use Efficient XML without modifying your existing application, it can be used with an HTTP or TCP/UDP proxy to communicate with that application.
In addition, AgileDelta offers a variety of Web Service Integration Kits for simple, plug-in installation of Efficient XML into your web services framework.
