Liquid Technologies Announces Successful Fast Infoset XML Interoperability Testing

Liquid Technologies Ltd is pleased to announce the successful interoperability testing of its Fast Infoset implementation with those from Noemax Technologies Ltd, OSS Nokalva Inc, Sun Microsystems Inc, and TMax Soft Inc.

Fast Infoset is an ITU-T and ISO defined standard that specifies a binary encoding for W3C XML Information Set. Unlike other XML representations, the Fast Infoset standard has the dual benefits of both compression and performance, making it the ideal choice for moving large XML data between disparate low bandwidth systems or for high performance systems such as those utilising Web services.

The interoperability testing effort shows that Fast Infoset is a mature, reliable technology. Software developers can now invest in Fast Infoset technology with the confidence that third parties will be able to interact with the XML data produced using a variety of vendors' products across many platforms such as Microsoft Windows, Linux and Sun Microsystems Solaris, using C++, Java or Microsoft .Net.

Liquid Technologies currently provides a cross platform C++ implementation and Microsoft .Net (C# and VB .Net) implementations of the Fast Infoset standard as part of its XML Data Binding toolset, Liquid XML. XML Data Binding is the process of creating a class library from an XML Schema, bridging the gap between source code and XML by binding XML data to objects designed specifically for the data contained in those documents. This allows applications to manipulate data that has been serialized as either XML documents or Fast Infoset documents.

Liquid XML is the most comprehensive XML Data Binding tool available, and it has been tested against many of the leading standards including the ACORD, Financial products Markup Language (FpML 4) and Health Level Seven (HL7) schema.
