Project Name: Implementation of a binary protocol based RPC adapter to be used with the existing Web Services (SOAP/XML) based architecture
Project Overview:
SOAP/XML is a text-based specification for implementing RPC and messaging in Web Services. Implementation of this specification have relatively high memory and CPU processing requirements. The purpose of this project is to evaluate alternatives to the text-based SOAP/XML and propose more efficient, possibly binary-based, transport channel. A successful proof-of-concept would be considered for production implementation.
Job Responsibilities:
- Research the existing binary object data serialization/deserialization protocols like
Google Protocol Buffers (protobuf), Sun Fast Infoset (FI), AgileDelta Efficient XML Interchange (EXI), Matroska Extensible Binary Modeling Language (EBML), XimpleWare VTD-XML, Binary MPEG format for XML (BiM) and others if appropriate and provide the gathered information in a document to help with the decision on which is the protocol that fits best our needs
- Implement the corresponding adapting layers and protocol related code (if needed)
for the chosen protocol to be integrated with our existing infrastructure. The result of this step should be a working client-server application build over our existing infrastructure but using the newly introduced serialization/deserialization protocol
