Is XML still human readable in its binary format? From SearchSAP.com: Today's News January 03, 2005 Enterprises are expected in 2005 to spend more on XML acceleration appliances to offload performance hits until a single binary XML format is ratified. http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid26_gci10 32797,00.html?track=NL-137&ad=500010 Tim Cronin "Hurd, Richard [SLCUS]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think the ultimate downfall to EDI will be a new > format, but rather > the slowness of it as it was originally a batch oriented system. The format of the messages doesn't have a lot to do with whether it's batch oriented; I wager that I could write a very efficient and robust realtime processing system that chewed on X12 and EDIFACT transactions just as easily as XML. (Not saying it'd be as easy to write, just that the transactions would be processed realtime in a similar fashion to XML.) > Most sales people and business people frankly don't care what > standard they use as long as you load their data correctly. Darn right! It's all about the Benjamins. Business people don't care about XML, EDI or $INSERT_MARKUP_LANGUAGE_HERE. Just provide results, accurately and quickly.
