Part of my thinking (perhaps simplistic) about compression is that it should be integrated into the formatting, rather doing it as a separate step. For example, when formatting an xml message containing an array of data, many of the strings to be compressed are known in advance (because they are the xml tags); the same could probably be done for decompression. It seems likely that taking advantage of this knowledge should significantly speed up xml formatting and compression. Phil Troy Philip M.

You need to compromise speed of compression/decompression against speed of data transfer. The other issue is that you will need to add decompression and compression filters yourself into standard SOAP packages that don't have this feature out of the box. And all your clients must follow this protocol. Internally this is easy to accomplish. Externally is a different story.

One fo the responses to the question about performance indicated that XML was necessarily (much) slower because of the increased size of the messages. Would the difference be significantly decreased if compression were used, particularly with arrays where the same keywords may be used very frequently in the message. Furthermore, if the compression were built into the xml text generation, might not the processing time to create the compressed message be very significantly reduced? Phil Troy Philip M.
