Re: [xml-dev] Is it time for the binary XML permathread to startup agai

Hi Roger,

There is JSON as well.  I'm not sure what format it uses under the 
covers to encode the data though.

I would also point out on item 3 the nomenclature of an ASN.1 file is 
not correct.  ASN.1 is the schema syntax (like XSD), encoded instances 
can be BER, DER, or PER (the equivalent of the XML instance).

Regards,

Ed Day
