> From: Naresh Agarwal [mailto:nagarwal@i...] > What are XML Infosets and what are they used for? The XML Information Set [1] is defines the essential information that can be retrieved from XML markup at syntax level. It's the common (now formal) way for applications and humans to look at XML as a syntax and what that syntax can denote. > SOAP1.2 (unlike SOAP1.1) uses XML Infoset for the abstract > description of SOAP Envelope. What does it mean? I don't know about that, but it probably means that any information in such a description is build upon the Infoset view of XML. > Does it mean that SOAP envelope, *potentially*, can be > serialized using something other than XML? IMHO that is rather irrelevant. Most Information Items according to the Infoset have to do with what the XML syntax represents. Such a serialization, if full, would give you XML in another syntax. I'm not sure whether this is the last or first thing we need these days... [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset/ Hope that helps, Manos
