WBXML

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WAP Binary XML (WBXML) is a binary representation of XML. Its goal is to allow XML documents to be transmitted in a compact manner over mobile networks. It is an Open Mobile Alliance standard. It is proposed as an addition to the World Wide Web Consortium's Wireless Application Protocol family of standards.

WBXML is used by a number of mobile phones. Usage includes SyncML for transmitting address book and calendar data, Wireless Markup Language, Wireless Village, OMA DRM for its rights language and Over-the-air programming for sending network settings to a phone.
