"Fast Infoset" and "Fast Web Services" are two separate terms originated by Sun. "Fast Infoset" is similar to my own XBIS (http://www.xbis.org) representation for XML (which preceded Sun's public efforts), and basically reduces the size and processing overhead of XML by using binary representations to replace element and attribute names, while still sending data values in text form. As such, "Fast Infoset" can be applied to arbitrary XML.
"Fast Web Services", on the other hand, uses binary encoding of the actual data values - so that ints, for instance, are sent as binary rather than text. "Fast Infoset" requires generating encoder and decoders which are specific to the document format (i.e. schema) being sent. In theory this should be considerably faster than the text-based representation of "Fast Infoset", but Sun's results don't really appear to live up to the potential of the approach. - Dennis -- Dennis M.
