Abstract
A method is for encoding a structured document, particularly an XML document, during which the contents of the document are converted into a binary representation. This binary representation is divided into encoding units, which form an encoded data flow and can be read out from the encoded data flow. The encoded data flow contains configuration data, with which configuration information concerning the division of the binary representation into encoding units can be read out before the reading out of one of more encoding units.
Claims29
Method for encoding a structured document using an encoding device, comprising:
- converting the contents of the document into a binary representation;
- dividing the binary representation into encoding units, which form an encoded data flow, readable out from the encoded data flow;
- and
- including configuration data in the encoded data flow, by which configuration information concerning the division of the binary representation into encoding units is readable out prior to reading out one or more encoding units.
Device for encoding a structured document, comprising:
- means for converting the contents of the document into a binary representation;
- means for dividing the binary representation into encoding units, which form an encoded data flow, readable out from the encoded data flow;
- and
- means for including configuration data in the encoded data flow, by which configuration information concerning the division of the binary representation into encoding units is readable out prior to reading out one or more encoding units.
Device for encoding and decoding a structured document, comprising:
- means for converting the contents of the document into a binary representation;
- means for dividing the binary representation into encoding units, which form an encoded data flow, readable out from the encoded data flow;
- means for including configuration data in the encoded data flow, by which configuration information concerning the division of the binary representation into encoding units is readable out prior to reading out one or more encoding units;
- and
- means for decoding the encoded structured document.
