What is this thing called "EXIficient" ?

EXIficient is an open source implementation of the W3C Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format specification written in the Java programming language.

The EXI format is a very compact representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources.

Objectives

What was the reason to launch this project?

Good question ! :-) Let me state some reasons ...

• To enable EXI feature proof and test
• No open source EXI implementation available yet
• To support EXI working group
  (W3C charter explicitly requires two interoperable implementations)....

The initial implementation was made possible by the support of Siemens Corporate Technology.
