Abstract

The Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format [1] is an efficient way to compress XML documents and XML fragments. This document provides information on how EXI can be used in XMPP streams to efficiently compress data transmitted between the server and the client. For certain applications (like applications in sensor networks) EXI is a vital component, decreasing packet size enabling sensors with limited memory to communicate efficiently. The strong support in EXI for generating efficient stubcodes is also vital to build efficient code in constrained devices.
