System and method for schema-driven compression of extensible mark-up language (XML) documents

摘要

A method (and system) for compressing an extensible markup language (XML) document, includes compressing an XML document such that information in a markup portion therein is maintained in a compressed form to allow the document to be reconstructed. During the compressing, the markup portion and a non-markup portion of the document are separated, and the non-markup component is compressed using a first compression method and the markup component is compressed using a second compression method.
