  1. I have been doing research on entropy encoding for some time.. I found some interesting relationships between Arithmetic coding and other methods such as Huffman Coding. I made an article to explain them and am presenting here for review: http://siara.cc/arithmetic_coding_new_approach/ I have also attached a PDF version for convenience Arithmetic_Coding_Formula_based_approach.pdf. Please let me know your ideas.
  2. Hi @Sensei, Thank you.. I think your first idea is about having a dictionary for some fields and using index positions to refer to it.. It is an excellent suggestion and I want to add it. Where the possible values are fixed, such as in a LOV (List of Values), it will save even more space. While I agree with your second opinion, this is the way I look at it: XML is too open to suit my purpose. I am not trying to replace XML for all the purposes it is being used for, but only in case of representing relational data, where schema is more or less fixed and there is huge amount of data involved for storage and transfer, as in three-tier architecture and rdbms. If this is adopted for new designs this could tremendously avoid redundant data being transferred and processed. I think this would make a positive impact on the amount of energy being used (in terms of watts). But I don't understand where my solution is not extendable. Can give an example? Again thanks for the valuable feedback. Regards Arun
  3. Please have a look at my proposal to use CSV as lightweight data-interchange format compared to JSON and XML. Multi-level nested CSV TDV.pdf (or) http://siara.cc/csv_ml Screenshot of reference implementation: The demo application (Java) can be download from: http://siara.cc/csv_ml/csv_ml_swing_demo-1.0.0.jar The proposed format is expected to: save storage space (about 50% compared to JSON and 60-70% compared to XML) increase data transfer speeds be faster to parse compared to XML and JSON allow full schema definition and validation make schema definition simple, lightweight and in-line compared to DTD or XML Schema allow database binding be used in EAI (Application Integration) for import and export of data be simpler to parse, allowing data to be available even in low memory devices The given demos convert between CSV, XML and JSON (CSV to XML DOM, CSV to JSON, XML to CSV).
