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.
EXI is the result of extensive work carried out by the W3C's XML Binary Characterization (XBC) and Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Groups. XBC was chartered to investigate the costs and benefits of an alternative form of XML, and formulate a way to objectively evaluate the potential of a substitute format for XML. Based on XBC's recommendations, EXI was chartered, first to measure, evaluate, and compare the performance of various XML technologies (using metrics developed by XBC [XBC Measurement Methodologies]), and then, if it appeared suitable,

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
