[flexcoders] Entity - Data Interchange Format

2010-06-21 Thread wain_mike
Hi all,
I want to introduce you to a new lightwieght format
called ENTITY. it is smaller than XML and JSON.

And is also quicker to generate and parse. You can 
check it out at: http://www.entity-format.co.uk

Its early days, and i only went live with the project
yesterday but more ports will be coming and alot more
content for the site.

Kind Regards
Wayne IV Mike.

It's worthwhile saying that the usage of this format is not free in 
commercial projects (unless I've read the licence wrong - please correct 
me if that's the case Wayne), so that's something to be considered 
besides the format itself.

Although it appears to be legal to write an alternative non-restricted codec 
for it, and release it as FOSS.
TBH, if transfer overhead is so critical, you might be off moving to a binary 
format; this can be as simple as gzip'ing the format of choice or moving all 
the way up to LCDS/BlazeDS.
