That's far from impossible, the way we do it the compiled schema can optionally be stored with the encoded data. I've been recommending that for storage one should use that method (since data outlives applications) but for ephemereal transmissions it shouldn't be needed. I also have ideas about how to store it once for multiple files. -- Robin Berjon <robin.berjon@e...> Research Engineer, Expway http://expway.fr/ 7FC0 6F5F D864 EFB8 08CE 8E74 58E6 D5DB 4889 2488
