Abstract: The present invention provides for a system and method of performing efficient XML-RPC. Generally, the system comprises a client which generates XML-RPC requests in a compression format which encodes tags, attributes and attribute values as tokens rather than strings and transmits the request to a server. The server gets the requests from the client, invokes the corresponding method and sends a response encoded in the same format that the clients request was encoded in. In a further aspect of the present invention, the client receives a URL of a valid XML-RPC server. The client establishes a persistent connection with the server via a request utilizing the URL. The method to be called utilizing XM-RPC is passed to the client along with the associated parameters. The client generates and XML-RPC request which is transmitted in an encoding format which represents at least a portion of the tags (and attributes and attribute values if present) as tokens rather than strings.

Abstract: A method (and system) for compressing an extensible markup language (XML) document, includes compressing an XML document such that information in a markup portion therein is maintained in a compressed form to allow the document to be reconstructed. During the compressing, the markup portion and a non-markup portion of the document are separated, and the non-markup component is compressed using a first compression method and the markup component is compressed using a second compression method.
