Abstract
since being proposed in May 2000, the SOAP
Internet protocol has by now revolutionized application
development by connecting graphic user interface desktop
applications to powerful Internet servers using the standards
of the internet: HTTP and XML. However the fact that it
uses a text-based XML encoding unlike the traditional binary
protocols, results in higher bandwidth consumption, bigger
storage requirement and increased processing overhead.
When using mobile devices, one additional question about the
battery performance raises. This paper presents the results of
implementing efficient compression and its positive impact to
the overall performance of the mobile devices that use
wireless communication with web services, in terms of
significantly reduced bandwidth, quite improved response
time, and extended battery life of the mobile devices.
