The Extensible Markup Language (XML) format delivers key advantages in interoperability and is widely adopted as a standard for exchanging structured information by Web services. Web services technologies and applications have built on the success of XML by providing standardized delivery of structurally and semantically rich content over the Web, as defined by the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) W3C standards. However, the interoperability of XML Web services often comes at the price of reduced efficiency of message composition, transfer, and parsing compared to simple binary protocols. Several studies have evaluated the performance of SOAP and concluded that SOAP and XML incur a substantial performance penalty compared to binary protocols [4], [9], [10]. Parsing and validation of XML against a schema is expensive [12], [19], as well as the cost of deserialization into usable in-memory objects for applications [6], [10]. 2008 IEEE Intern
