So > what about making a negotiated dialog of the transfer : Hi Danny, You may want to look at the compression system I designed for dbXML. The goal behind it is not necessarily to produce incredible compression ratios, but to get the XML into a state where it's in a tokenized tree form, doesn't lose any of the original document structure, can be traversed without having to decompress unneeded nodes, and doesn't have to be parsed. The stream can be used to generate lazy DOM trees and SAX events. It utilizes external symbol tables to perform compression/decompression. These symbol tables are also XML files, and can be compressed using a hardcoded symbol table. It was designed for use with dbXML, but I tried to architect it such that it could easily be extracted and used on its own. The license is LGPL. http://www.dbxml.com/core.html -- Tom
