Hello DFDL community, An EXI tool can encode XML to the binary EXI format, e.g.,
Book.xml --> EXI tool --> Book.exi Daffodil can unparse XML to generate binary, e.g., Book.xml --> Daffodil --> Book.binary An EXI tool can decode a binary EXI file to XML, e.g., Book.exi --> EXI tool --> Book.xml Daffodil can parse binary to generate XML, e.g., Book.binary --> Daffodil --> Book.xml Daffodil can do everything that an EXI tool can do. Plus, Daffodil can do much, much more. Conclusion: EXI is redundant and is no longer needed. Do I have any errors in my argument? Do you agree with my conclusion? /Roger
