- It is smaller. While individual pieces of data may be tiny, the cumulative amount is significant, and efficiency is crucial.
Why is efficiency crucial when events are being produced at the rate a human can produce them?
If something over Jingle *is* desired, I'm a bit uncomfortable with specifying bespoke binary protocols in XEPs.The whole point of Jingle applications is to specify the protocol. I'm not sure where the problem lies here.
Do we have any examples of a XEP specifying a protocol yet? So far usually we reuse a protocol, such as RTP.
Regarding direct XML streams, CBOR is still more efficient.
No one is saying CBOR is bad in general, but I think if a new input-events-over-cbor-stream protocol is needed the XSF is not the place to specify it.
Additionally, the protocol is based on web APIs, and CBOR provides a direct mapping.
Perhaps this could be called out more? If this is indeed a "direct mapping" to an existing protocol maybe the concerns about it being bespoke are moot.
