Re: Problems in transferring XML

Hi,

Thanks for your idea.
But still im not clear about the solution.
How can I compress XML using a compression algoritm?
Is it after saving the XML string to a file and then zip it? But in
that case how are we going to transfer the zipped file?
I tried to send the zipped file as a string but SOAP tool kit returned
and error saying the string contains some invalid characters.

Please advice.

Well, the traditional solution is to put the XML thru standard data
compression algorithms (zip/unzip, for example) before sending it across
the wire. That will reduce repeated structure as well as repeated
strings, and is thus much more effective than just trying to compress
the text content.

The question of whether there should be a standardized compressed form
for XML comes up on a regular basis. Most past attempts have actually
not been much, if any, improvement over zip/unzip. Folks still play with
this periodically, and the W3C's still debating whether the concept
makes any sense or if it completely breaks the XML processing model.
