Abstract
We describe a tool for compressing XML data, with applications in data exchange and archiving, which usually achieves about twice the compression ratio of gzip at roughly the same speed. The compressor, called XMill, incorporates and combines existing compressors in order to apply them to heterogeneous XML data: it uses zlib, the library function for gzip, a collection of datatype specific compressors for simple data types, and, possibly, user defined compressors for application specific data types. 1 Introduction We have implemented a compressor/decompressor for XML data, to be used in data exchange and archiving, that achieves about twice the compression rate of general-purpose compressors (gzip), at about the same speed. The tool can be downloaded from www.research.att.com/sw/tools/xmill/. XML is now being adopted by many organizations and industry groups, like the healthcare, banking, chemical, and telecommunications industries. The attraction in XML is that it is a self-describi...
