Dear Sirs,
I am investigating methods of efficiently compressing 3D geometry
encoded in XML (not X3D).
I have identified FastInfoSet as one possible encoding and have just
discovered EXI.
A few questions, if I may. Please feel free to point me at a document if
this is all covered in the specification or an FAQ.
1. Is EXI considered a replacement for FIS, or are they competing
standards. Does the W3C have a preferred encoding ?
2. A suitable data format must include support for efficiently packing
floating point and integer arrays.
I note FIS has such support, what about EXI ?
3. Is there an EXI discussion group somewhere I can join ?
4. Is there an EXI C/C++ reference implementation ?
Best regards,
Steve Williams
