The World Wide Web consortium, the standards body
in charge of developing XML, said Tuesday that it has issued three
recommendations designed to make handling XML-formatted data more
efficient. The specifications have the backing of large industry
software providers, including IBM, Microsoft and BEA Systems, which
provide the software infrastructure to build and run XML data and
Web services applications.
The W3C and vendors are looking at a variety of
methods of speeding up the performance of XML, which can be slow
for certain applications.
