EXI is designed in view to carry out extensive works with the help of W3C’s XML binary characterization. This is one of the efficient XML interchange working groups. The XBC is authorized to find out an alternative form of XML and they succeeded in that venture by developing a substitute format for XML. With respect to the recommendations from XBC, the EXI was first used for measuring, evaluating and comparing the progress of various XML technologies. This evaluation and comparing process are with respect to the measurements proposed by XBC.

Abstract
This document is the specification of the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format. EXI is a very compact representation for the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources. The EXI format uses a hybrid approach drawn from the information and formal language theories, plus practical techniques verified by measurements, for entropy encoding XML information. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is

Abstract
This Working Group Note presents measurement results of various high-performance XML interchange encoding formats and their associated processors, made by the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group. The measurements have been conducted following the recommendations of the XML Binary Characterization (XBC) Working Group. In particular, this draft covers measurements of the properties of "compactness", "processing efficiency" and "roundtrip support", as defined by the XBC WG. We start by describing the

This is the public web page for the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The EXI group is part of W3C's XML Activity. Here we present literature and data that may be of interest to the public. There is also a private page for members of the EXI group, for internal information.
The objective of the Efficient XML Interchange Working Group is to develop a specification for an
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) is a proposed data format
from the Efficient XML Interchange Working Group of the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It is one of the various
efforts to encode XML documents in a binary data format,
rather than plain text.
Using a binary XML format generally can reduce the
verbosity of XML documents and cost of parsing.
The EXI format is derived from the Agile Delta efficient
XML format[1].
