<p>
The Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format <note>
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format &lt;<link url='http://www.w3.org/TR/exi/'>http://www.w3.org/TR/exi/</link>&gt;.
</note> is an
efficient way to compress XML documents and XML fragments. This document provides information on how EXI can be used in XMPP streams to efficiently compress data transmitted between
the server and the client. For certain applications (like applications in sensor networks) EXI is a vital component, decreasing packet size enabling sensors with limited memory to
communicate efficiently. The strong support in EXI for generating efficient stubcodes is also vital to build efficient code in constrained devices.
</p>
<p>
Activating EXI compression requires a handshake to take place prior, where the server and client agree on a set of parameters. Some of these parameters may increase the compression ratio,
at the cost of processing power and readability. These parameters include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Schemas to use.</li>
<li>EXI version number.</li>
<li>Data alignment (bit-packed, byte-alignment, pre-compression).</li>
<li>If EXI-compressed data should be further compressed using additional compression.</li>
<li>Strict or loose adherence to schemas.</li>
<li>If comments, processing instructions, dtd:s, prefixes, lexical values, etc. should be preserved.</li>
<li>If self-contained elements should be allowed.</li>
<li>Alternate data type representations for types values.</li>
<li>Block size for EXI compression.</li>
<li>Maximum string length of value content items in string tables.</li>
<li>Value partition capacity.</li>
</ul>
<p>
These parameters will be discussed in greater depth in the following sections. There are also default values that can be used to commence evaluating EXI compression.
</p>
<p>
The single most important property to agree on however, is the set of schemas to use during EXI compression. EXI compresses XML much more efficiently if schemas exist
describing the format of the expected XML. Since the server is not supposed to know all possible XML schemas, a mechanism is provided in this document whereby schemas can be
interchanged, so that the server can adapt its compression to the needs of the client.
</p>
<p>
EXI can be used through two bindings:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Normal XMPP Port</li>
<li>Dedicated Binary EXI Port</li>
</ul>
<p>
Both will be described in turn, in the following sections.
</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Use Cases' anchor='usecases'>
<!-- TODO: [YD] can we have a summary section to desribe the use case? a short proposal is as follows
The section title of "Detecting support of EXI" is also modified to aligned with overall structure
-->
<section2 topic="Two approaches to use EXI">
<p>
There are two ways to use EXI to make efficient XMPP communication. The first method describes how to activate EXI-compression using &xep0138; (XEP-0138).
The second method describes an alternative binding. This method does not use Stream compression as defined in
<link url="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0138.html">XEP-0138</link>, rather it allows clients to connect
to the server and start using EXI directly from the beginning.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic="Stream Compression" anchor="streamcompression">
<p>
The following sections assume the client connects through the normal XMPP port, and starts communicating with the server using uncompressed XML fragments.
When the client connects to the XMPP Server, it will receive a list of features supported by the server:
</p>
<example caption='Search Features'><![CDATA[
<stream:features>
<starttls xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-tls'/>
<compression xmlns='http://jabber.org/features/compress'>
<method>zlib</method>
<method>lzw</method>
<method>exi</method>
<method>exi:54321</method>
</compression>
</stream:features>]]></example>
<p>
Support for EXI compression through the normal XMPP port is detected by the existence of the <strong>exi</strong> compression method in the <strong>features</strong> stanza.
If a port (static or dynamic) is available for a dedicated binary EXI/XMPP binding, this can be detected by the existence of the <strong>exi:PORT</strong> compression method,
where PORT is replaced by the port number used. More information about this alternative method is available in the <link url='#alttrans'>Alternative Bindings</link> section.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> If the client already knows the port number of the dedicated binary EXI/XMPP binding, it can connect there directly, without the need to check the
server features using the normal XMPP port.
</p>
<p>
Following is a list of use cases displaying how the client can configure and activate EXI compression on the current binding.
</p>
<section3 topic='Invalid setup'>
<p>
If the client attempts to activate an EXI stream at this point, before the negotiation of EXI properties has been performed, the server must respond with a
<strong>setup-failed</strong> response.
</p>
<example caption='Invalid setup'><![CDATA[
<compress xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress'>
<method>exi</method>
</compress>
<failure xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress'>
<setup-failed/>
</failure>]]></example>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Proposing compression parameters' anchor='setup'>
<p>
When the client decides to activate EXI compression, it sends a <strong>setup</strong> stanza containing parameter proposals to the server as follows:
</p>
<example caption='Proposing compression parameters'><![CDATA[

</setup>]]></example>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> Schema files are identified using three properties: Its <strong>target namespace</strong>, its <strong>byte size</strong> and its
<strong>MD5 hash</strong>. The <strong>MD5 hash</strong> provides a way to detect small changes in the file, even if the byte size and namespace are the same.
</p>
<p>
It is important that the client specify not only application specific namespaces in this request, but also the versions of the schemas for the
core XMPP protocol namespaces and the schema for the XML namespace, containing XML attributes.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> Hash values and byte sizes of known schemas at the time of writing, can be found <link url='#knownhashes'>here</link>.
However, these values are informational only. It is recommended that the developer makes sure exactly what version of the schema to use, and
calculate the hash for it correspondingly. Also, some changes to some schemas might be necessary, which will affect the hash values. For more
information about this, see the inforamtion about <link url='#knownproblems'>known problems</link>.
</p>
<p>
After receiving the request, the server responds with a <strong>setupResponse</strong> stanza containing the parameters it can accept, based
on the initial values provided by the client. Any buffer sizes, etc., may have been changed, but only lowered, never raised.
</p>

</setupResponse>]]></example>
<p>
Schema files that the server does not have (based on namespace, byte size and MD5 hash) are marked with the <strong>missingSchema</strong> element instead of the
normal <strong>schema</strong> element.
</p>
<p>
At this point the client can choose to abort the EXI enablement sequence if it cannot accommodate itself with the proposed parameter settings provided by the server.
The XMPP session will continue to work in its current state. Aborting does not require taking further action from the client.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Uploading new schema files'>
<p>
If the server lacks information about a schema file, it is specified in the response through the <strong>missingSchema</strong> elements. At this point, the client can
either choose to accept that these schema files are not available, making compression less efficient, or choose to upload the missing schema files to the server. Of course,
uploading schema files would require the device to have sufficient buffers and memory to store and upload the schema files in the first place. (If it is not possible to upload the
schema files, consideration should be given to installing the schema files manually at the server.)
</p>
<p>
To upload a schema file, the client simply sends the schema file using an <strong>uploadSchema</strong> element, as follows:
</p>
<example caption='Uploading schema file'><![CDATA[
<uploadSchema xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' contentType='Text'>
PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0nMS4wJyBlbmNvZGluZz0nVVRGLTgnPz4NCjx4czpzY2hlbWENCiAgICB4

</uploadSchema>]]></example>
<p>
The schema itself is sent using base64 encoding to the server. This is to make sure a binary exact copy is transferred, maintaining encoding, processing instructions, etc. The
server then computes the <strong>target namespace</strong>, <strong>byte size</strong> and <strong>MD5 Hash</strong> from the sent schema file.
</p>
<p>
If the client desires, it can test the EXI setup again. This is optional, but can be used to test that uploading the schema files, and any new property values
are accepted by the server.
</p>
<example caption='Testing newly uploaded schema files'><![CDATA[

<p>
Note the <strong>agreement</strong> attribute in the response this time. The server must set this attribute to true if it agrees with the proposal from the client.
The client in turn can check this attribute as a quick way to check if agreement exists. When the server is in agreement it must also return a Configuration ID
in the <strong>configurationId</strong> attribute. This Configuration ID can be used later to quicker enter into EXI compressed mode.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Uploading compressed schema files'>
<p>
The <strong>uploadSchema</strong> command has an optional attribute called <strong>contentType</strong> that can be used to send different types of documents
to the server. This is not a MIME content type, but an enumeration with the following options:
</p>
<table caption='contentType values'>
<tr>
<th>Value</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text</td>
<td>
The schema is sent as plain text, albeit base-64 encoded. If no encoding is provided in the XML header of the schema file,
UTF-8 encoding is assumed. This is the default value.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ExiBody</td>
<td>The schema file is sent as an EXI compressed file, but only the body is sent. *</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ExiDocument</td>
<td>The schema file is sent as an EXI compressed file. The entire file, including Exi header is provided. *</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
(*) These options assume the following set of default EXI options are used. It is assumed the XMPP server has more capabilities than the client, so the following
set of options must be supported by the XMPP server. The schema files can be precompressed and stored as binary files on the client for easier transmission.

<p>
Since EXI compression does not perserve the extact binary representation of the schema file (for instance it doesn't preserve white space), the server
cannot correctly compute byte size and an MD5 hash for the file. Therefore, the client needs to provide this information in the <strong>uploadSchema</strong>
command using the <strong>bytes</strong> and <strong>md5Hash</strong> attributes. They are mandatory in case EXI compressed schema files are uploaded to the
server. Also note that the byte length and MD5 Hash should be computed on the original XML Schema file, not the compressed or decompressed version.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Downloading new schema files on server'>
<p>
As an alternative to uploading a schema file to the server, the client can ask the server to download a schema file by itself. This is done using the <strong>downloadSchema</strong>
command, as follows:
</p>
<example caption='Downloading a new XML schema file on server'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchema xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='http://schemavault.example.org/compress/sn/provisioning.xsd'/>
]]></example>
<p>
The server tries to download the schema by itself, and then computes the <strong>target namespace</strong>, <strong>byte size</strong> and <strong>MD5 Hash</strong>
from the downloaded schema.
</p>
<p>
When the schema has been downloaded, the following successful download response is returned:
</p>
<example caption='Schema successfully downloaded'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchemaResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='http://schemavault.example.org/compress/sn/provisioning.xsd' result='true'/>
]]></example>
<p>
If an HTTP error occurred while trying to download the schema, a response as follows is returned:
</p>
<example caption='HTTP Error'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchemaResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='http://schemavault.example.org/compress/sn/provisioning.xsd' result='false'>
<httpError code='404' message='NotFound'/>
</downloadSchemaResponse>]]></example>
<p>
If the URL could not be resolved, the following response is returned:
</p>
<example caption='Invalid URL'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchemaResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='urk://example.org/schema.xsd' result='false'>
<invalidUrl message='Unrecognized schema.'/>
</downloadSchemaResponse>]]></example>
<p>
If a timeout occurred during the download attempt, the following response is returned:
</p>
<example caption='Timeout'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchemaResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='http://schemavault.example.org/compress/sn/provisioning.xsd' result='false'>
<timeout message='No response returned.'/>
</downloadSchemaResponse>]]></example>
<p>
If the url points to something that is not a schema, the following response is returned:
</p>
<example caption='Invalid Content Type'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchemaResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='http://schemavault.example.org/compress/sn/provisioning.xsd' result='false'>
<invalidContentType contentTypeReturned='text/html'/>
</downloadSchemaResponse>]]></example>
<p>
If an error occurs that is unforeseen by this specification, the server can simply respond with a generic error message, as follows:
</p>
<example caption='Other types of errors'><![CDATA[
<downloadSchemaResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' url='http://schemavault.example.org/compress/sn/provisioning.xsd' result='false'>
<error message='No free space left.'/>
</downloadSchemaResponse>]]></example>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> Downloading a schema, might download a version which does not correspond to the desired version
of the schema. It might for instance have been updated. This means the <strong>bytes</strong> and <strong>md5Hash</strong> values
corresponding to the downloaded file will not match the values expected by the client. Therefore, it's in this case important the client
checks that the server actually downloaded the version of the schema required by the client so it doesn't assume the server uses
the same version of the schema when in actuality it doesn't.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Accessing quick configurations'>
<p>
Once an EXI setup has been accepted by the server, and agreement is reched, the server will provide the client with a quick Configuration ID
through the <strong>configurationId</strong> attribute. This Configuration ID can be used by the client during successive connections to the server,
to skip the larger part of the handshake, as is shown in the following example:
</p>
<example caption='Accessing quick configurations'><![CDATA[
<setup xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' configurationId='c76ab4ec-4993-4285-8c7a-098060581bb8'/>
]]></example>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> the quick configuration includes all accepted schemas and all EXI options agreed upon during the
session when the configuration ID was returned. The <strong>configurationId</strong> attribute MUST NOT be used together
with other option attributes or schema definitions in the setup request.
</p>
<p>
If the configuration is still available on the server, the server responds:
</p>
<example caption='Quick configuration accepted'><![CDATA[
<setupResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' agreement='true' configurationId='c76ab4ec-4993-4285-8c7a-098060581bb8'/>
]]></example>
<p>
Note that schemas or options are not mentioned explicitly when using this quick setup approach.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Quick configuration failure'>
<p>
If the server for some reason does not remember the specific configuration requested by the client (the client might have been disconnected for
a long time), it responds in the following manner:
</p>
<example caption='Quick configuration failure'><![CDATA[
<setupResponse xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi' agreement='false' configurationId='c76ab4ec-4993-4285-8c7a-098060581bb8'/>
]]></example>
<p>
The agreement attribute is optional, with a default value of false. So, if the attribute is omitted, the client must consider the
agreement to be nonexistent. When no agreement is reached using the quick configuration approach, the client must restart the handshake
and <link url='#setup'>propose new compression parameters</link>.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic='Start compression'>
<p>
When EXI option negotiation has been completed, the client can tell the server that it is ready to start compression. It does this using the normal <strong>compress</strong>
stanza, as follows:
</p>
<example><![CDATA[
<compress xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress'>
<method>exi</method>
</compress>]]></example>
<p>
The server now has the necessary knowledge on how the EXI engine should be configured for the current session and it responds as follows:
</p>
<example caption='Compression accepted'><![CDATA[
<compressed xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress'/>
]]></example>
<p>
When the client receives acknowledgement that the compression method has been accepted, it restarts the stream, as explained in
<link url='http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0138.html#usecase'>XEP 0138</link>, except that it <strong>must not</strong> resend the <strong>&lt;stream&gt;</strong>
start element sequence. Similarly, the client must not send a <strong>&lt;/stream&gt;</strong> element when closing the session.
Instead, special <link url='#streamStart'>streamStart</link> and <link url='#streamEnd'>streamEnd</link> elements are sent. More information
about that later.
</p>
</section3>
</section2>
<section2 topic="EXI-specific stream elements">
<p>
Becuase EXI engines need to close all open XML elements before decompressing, it cannot start the stream by sending only an open &lt;stream&gt; element,
and close the stream by sending a closing &lt;/stream&gt; element. Instead separate <strong>streamStart</strong> and <strong>streamEnd</strong> elements
have to be sent, allowing for similar semantics on the EXI-compressed channel, as described in the following subsections.
</p>
<p>
For clarity, examples in this section are displayed in XML for readability. But it is understood that the elements are sent using EXI compression and
using the options defined during setup.
</p>
<section3 topic="streamStart" anchor="startStream">
<p>
The first thing the client needs to do, once it opens the new EXI-compressed connection, whether it be through the normal XMPP connection or through
the alternative EXI-only binding, is to send a <strong>streamStart</strong> element. This element replaces the start stream tag normally sent.
</p>
<example caption='Start of EXI-compressed stream'>
<![CDATA[
<exi:streamStart from='client@im.example.org'
to='im.example.org'
version='1.0'
xml:lang='en'
xmlns:exi='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi'>
<exi:xmlns prefix='' namespace='jabber:client'/>
<exi:xmlns prefix='streams' namespace='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'/>
<exi:xmlns prefix='exi' namespace='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi'/>
</exi:streamStart>]]>
</example>
<p>
There's a semantic difference between only writing an open XML element, and sending a closed XML element separately, and that is in the definition
of XML namespaces. XML namespaces and their corresponding prefixes defined in the normal &lt;streams:stream&gt; element will be available to all
child elements following in a normal XMPP stream. However, to be able to do the same in an EXP-compressed XMPP stream, you need to define the
namespaces and prefixes separately. Furthermore, the EXI/XMPP layer needs to make these namespace and prefix-definitions available to all following
elements sent on the stream. The empty prefix is synonymous with the default namespace to use.
</p>
</section3>
<section3 topic="streamEnd" anchor="streamEnd">
<p>
Before closing the connection, the client needs to send a <strong>streamEnd</strong> element. This element replaces the closing stream tag send normally.
</p>
<example caption='End of EXI-compressed stream'>
<![CDATA[
<exi:streamEnd xmlns:exi='http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi'/>]]>

<section2 topic='Alternative Transport Binding for EXI/XMPP over TCP' anchor='alttrans'>
<!-- [YD] merged from yd's proposal 2013-04-16 -->
<!-- TODO: [PW] Revise use of MUST, SHOULD, COULD, etc. It seems SHOULD and SHOULD NOT is used when MUST/MUST NOT should be used. RECOMMENDED should be SHOULD. -->
<p>
Alternative binding for EXI/XMPP is suitable for use cases such as factory automation, smart grid appliances, and other
embedded use of communications. It works best if clients are constrained and does not update its specification frequently.
In addition, the network should allow clients and servers to use not well-known port because this commeunication involves
alternative TCP port.
</p>
<p>
Typical steps of communication is as follows (based on &rfc6120;).
</p>
<!-- TODO: [PW] Perhaps a bit more descriptive with references and links for more info? It is an XMPP specification, but one cannot assume readers are familiar with details of DHCP, etc. -->
<!-- TODO: [PW] A flow chart would be great. I can embed it inline. -->
<!-- TODO: [PW] Links & notes with references to RFC's. -->
<ol>
<li>
<p>
(Optional)
A client (foo@example.net) try to resolve a server with alternative binding for EXI/XMPP with DNS SRV lookup (ex. _xmpp-bclient._tcp.example.net. IN SRV)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
(Optional)
A DNS server tells a set of DNS RR to notify a server accepts EXI/XMPP binding (ex. SRV 10 10 15222 srv.example.net.) (Optional: the DNS server may tell the version of the default schema supported by the server. Currently there is only one version and has no effect. For further discussion, see <link url="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-doi-exi-messaging-requirements-01">draft-doi-exi-messaging-requirement</link>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The client connects to srv.example.net. 15222 with TCP and the server accepts the connection.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The client sends out 'EXI Cookie' (e.g. '$EXI') and starts EXI stream with an EXI Header without any option document (implies <link url="#defaultParam">default encoding parameters</link>). It sends out EXI events corresponds to start tag of &lt;stream:stream>. Following shows XML Equivalent and EXI events <!-- TBD: shall be fixed after schema fix. -->

If client needs TLS or SASL negotiation, it should be done at this step. As specified in <link url="http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6120.html#streams-negotiation-restart">Section 4.3.3 of RFC6120</link>, both parties MUST not send events corresponds to &lt;/stream:stream> tag. (e.g. exi:streamEnd element)

<p>
If client needs to use different encoding option or schema than the default encoding options or <link url="#defaultSchema">the default schema</link>, then the client shall start <link url="#schemaHandling">schema negotiation</link>. The streams with alternate options/schemas SHOULD NOT have an EXI Options document to indicate the parameter is negotiated via previous XMPP stream.

<p>
For example, the client want to use MUC option (<link url="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html">XEP-0045</link>), the following communication will occur. First, client try to renegotiate XML schema used in the communication.

This message has a query element under muc#owner namespace. This is performed efficiently because
this series of messages from the last streamStart element has been encoded with the set of schemas and the set inclues schemas for MUC.
Otherwise, the encoding will become 'built-in grammar' even if the encoder and the decoder uses non-strict schema-informed grammar.
This is not possible if either encoder or decoder does not support built-in grammar or the stream uses strict schema-informed grammar.
In such cases, the whole message that contains undefined element or attribute SHOULD be dropped. <!-- [YD] IS THIS OKAY? -->

<!-- [YD] added to provide 'common view' on implementation. This can be introductionaly and I placed as the first section of implementation notes. Please move this section to somewhere else to improve readability -->
<p>
This section describes a common view on programming model between EXI/XMPP servers and clients. This is just an example and an implementation may do it in different ways. However, messages exchanged as a result should be identical.
</p>
<p>
As shown in this document, XMPP documents represented by EXI is slightly different from documents represented in XML.
For example, each stanzas and first level elements under &lt;stream:stream&gt; tags must be encoded as a standalone EXI
body (document). If namespace prefixes are declared in the root element of XML process (&lt;stream:stream&gt; tag),
the prefix should be recovered on decoded XML on the receiver side (EXI may or may not preserve prefix).
Therefore, some preprocessing and postprocessing is required to make current XMPP implementations work properly over
EXI/XMPP channel. An example of the configuration is described in the following figure.

<section2 topic='EXI options'>
<!-- [YD] FIXME: agreed: change this description as simple list of options and reference to the EXI spec. XMPP-dependent description may be added. -->
<!-- [YD] FIXME: add some numbers according to examples to show effects (in size) -->
<!-- DATA URI Scheme can be used to add figures (memo) -->
<p>
There are many <link url='http://www.w3.org/TR/exi/#options'>EXI options</link> in EXI Format. Followings are brief description for use in XMPP.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>alignment option</strong> is to control how the values are encoded. The default option 'bit-packed' fits most of communication use cases. If TLS compression is used at the same time, pre-compression will make the best result.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>compression option</strong> is a Boolean to specify additional entropy-based compression is performed over EXI encoding. This option works best for larger documents. Usual use cases expected in XMPP/EXI may not give much additional compactness to messages.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>strict option</strong> is a Boolean to let EXI grammars (schema-informed grammars) work more strictly. With a strict schema-informed grammar, only valid data with the schema is allowed in streams. This makes best compactness of a grammar and messages without additional entropy-based compression. With nonstrict schema-informed grammar, derived elements and attributes could be encoded in the built-in grammar. The built-in grammar is a dynamic, self-learning grammar model that gives full flexibility, with larger message size.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>preserve option</strong> is a set of Booleans to alter some production of events. Usually, all false (no preservation of comments, processing instructions, DTDs, namespace declarations and its prefixes, and lexical values) makes no problem on XMPP communication. However, uploading a binary schema may require the schema encoded with preserved namespace prefixes. The prefixes are used in type definitions, and without prefix preservation binding between type definition references and actual definitions will be lost.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>selfContained option</strong> is a Boolean to enable self contained encoding of elements. Self contained element has no dependency to context (string table state in EXI processors) and can be copied to other context with the same grammar. However, self contained elements cannot use external string tables in EXI processors and may result larger size.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>datatypeRepresentationMap option</strong> can be used to modify how types encoded in EXI. If encoders and decoders have special encoding, it can be specified here. In most use cases in XMPP/EXI, this option will not be used.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>blockSize option</strong> specifies the block size used for EXI compression. It has no effect if compression is not used.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>valueMaxLength option</strong> specifies the maximum length of re-used string in a stream. Larger value makes more strings captured in string tables in EXI processors. This means more memory needs to be allocated to process a stream. Because some use cases, such as Internet of Things, expects constrained nodes in the network, default value specified in ths XEP is very small (64 characters).
</p>
<p>
The <strong>valuePartitionCapacity option</strong> specifies how many strings should be kept in a string table in a time. Default value of this is also small in this XEP (64 strings).
</p>
<!-- [YD] This option should not be considered as EXI option. I added a note at the beginning of the paragraph. -->
<p>
To control buffer and string table life time, this XEP adds a new option: <strong>sessionWideBuffers</strong>.
If set to true, all buffers, string tables, etc. will be maintained during the entire session.
This may improve performance during time since strings can be omitted in the compressed binary stream, but it might also in some cases degrade performance since more options are
available in the tables, requiring more bits to encode strings. The default value is false, meaning that buffers, string tables, etc., are cleared between each stanza. (This option
is EXI/XMPP specific.)
</p>
<section3 topic='Evaluations of Options'>
<p>
This section describes effects in message size for some options.
</p>
<p>
The option <strong>sessionWideBuffers</strong> must have large effect in XMPP communication, because many XIDs are re-used many time within a XMPP stream.
If sessionWideBuffers option is enabled, most of XIDs can be encoded in short identifiers as it appears in some previous messages. Followings are
preliminary evaluation of message size of XML (plain old XML), EXI with sessionWideBuffers=false, and EXI with sessionWideBuffers=true.

</ul>
</section3>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Transmission of EXI bodies and Session-wide Buffers'>
<p>
The transmission of EXI-compressed stanzas takes the form of a sequence of EXI bodies. In order for the recipient to be able to correctly interpret these incoming
EXI bodies, the sender is required to flush any pending bits at the end of the last End Document (ED) event for each stanza and then send any pending bytes available
in the output buffer. Since this makes sure each EXI body starts at an even byte boundary, it permits the recipient to decompress the body into an XML stanza.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, each stanza sent on the stream, must be compressed separately, reusing the same options as used by the stream.
(Options are not sent on the stream, only the generated EXI bodies).
</p>
<p>
Compression of the stanza must be done in document mode, not fragment mode, including the Start Document (SD) and End Document (ED) events.
If there are unwritten bits pending after the last End Document (ED) event (after the end of the stanza), Zero-bits are written until a byte boundary is created.
The receptor must ignore bits in the last byte after the last End Document event has been received.
</p>
<p>
During setup of the EXI compression engine, the client can choose if buffers are to be reused between stanzas, or cleared between each stanza. This is done
using the EXI over XMPP specific option <strong>sessionWideBuffers</strong>, which is false by default, meaning buffers and string tables are cleared between
each stanza.
</p>
<p>
There may be cases where maintaining buffers and string tables throughout the session is preferrable. Since strings are already available in the buffers,
they don't need to be output in the stream the first time they appear in a stanza. However, the number of strings in tables increase, and so does the number of bits required to
encode them. Depending on what type of communication is performed, this option might give better results one way or another. If the same type of message is always
sent, maintaining string buffers may be more efficient. But if the client sends many many different types of messages, clearing buffers may be more efficient.
</p>
<p>
Note that the stream of EXI bodies is indefinite. It only stops when the session is closed, i.e. when the socket connection is dropped. Therefore, the buffers can grow
indefinitely unless control is maintained on what types of messages are sent, their contents (specifically string values), and to whom they are sent (JIDs being strings).
All string tables and buffers must be cleared when a connection is lost.
</p>
<p>
Note also that if you want the option to enter a session in the middle of the flow to listen to the communication, you need to clear tables and buffers between each
stanza, or you will not be able to decode the binary stream appropriately.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Preserving prefixes'>
<p>
Normally, prefixes are not preserved during EXI compression and decompression. If the communicating parties (sending client, XMPP server(s) and receiving clients)
interpret incoming stanzas and content according to namespace, this should be sufficient. However, some implementations do not check namespaces, but prefix names used.
In such cases, all communicating parties are required to enable the preserve prefixes option during negotionating.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> It is not sufficient that one party enable this option. Both sender and received are required to enable this option, or prefix names will be
lost in the transmission.
</p>
<p>
Note also, that preserving prefix names result in less efficient compression. Therefore, all clients implementing EXI compression should strive to parse incoming
XML based on namespace, not prefix name.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Networks containing clients having limited memory'>
<p>
To successfully implement a network with clients having limited memory, such as sensor networks, care should be taken to make sure necessary schema files are
preinstalled on the server, to avoid the necessity to upload schema files from the clients. Clients with limited memory might be unable to perform this task.
</p>
<p>
An alternative may be to install a richer client, that can upload the schema files to the server dynamically, and installing it into the network. Any client uploading
a schema file, will make that schema file available for EXI compression to any other client in the network.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Caching schema files'>
<p>
Schema files uploaded to the server should be cached on the server in some kind of schema repository. If memory is limited on the server, schema files should be
sorted by last access. Schema files with the oldest last access timestamp could be removed to maintain the cache within an approved cache size.
</p>
<p>
Note that schema files have three keys: <strong>Target namespace</strong>, <strong>byte size</strong> and <strong>MD5 Hash</strong>. Multiple versions of a schema file
may exist (that is, with the same target namespace but different byte sizes or MD5 hash codes). Note also, that for any practical purpose, schema files can be stored
using only the MD5 hash as a key, since it is highly improbable that two different schema files will have the same MD5 hash (unless consciously created that way). MD5 hash
values are always in <strong>lower case</strong>.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Uploading vs. Downloading schemas'>
<p>
When the server lacks information about a given XML schema, the client has two options for updating the server. Either it uploads the schema, or it asks the server to
download one.
</p>
<p>
Uploading a schema has the advantage, that the client knows exactly the version that the server requires. It has the disadvantage, that the client needs to store the schema
and send a possible large schema to the server. If EXI is used because the device has limited memory, uploading a schema might not be an option.
</p>
<p>
Downloading a schema has the advantage, that size of schema does not matter. The disadvantage is that asynchronous errors might occur, so the client needs to pay attention
to the responses returned by the server when downloading schemas. Also, downloading a schema, might download a version which does not correspond to the desired version
of the schema. So, it's more important in this case that the client checks that the server actually has the version of the schema required by the client.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Server decompression and recompression vs. binary forwarding'>
<p>
If two XMPP clients communicate with each other through an XMPP server, and both clients use EXI compression, the server must only forward
binary packets if both EXI compressed channels have exactly the same setup. If any parameter is different, the server MUST always recompress
packets sent through it.
</p>
<p>
Since the server always needs to decompress incoming EXI compressed packets to decode headers, omitting the compression part might save the server
some processing power, but not all. Note that, in some networks it might be common using similar compression settings, while in others different compression
settings are most common.
</p>
<p>
Also note that binary forwarding is only possible if session-wide buffers are not used.
</p>
</section2>

<!-- TODO: [PW] Why not efficient? In terms of total amount of communication performed during a device's lifetime, its a very very small fraction (insignificant).
This is a subjective opinion, termed in absolute phraseology. -->
</p>
<p>
Actual snapshot is located in (TBD-URL).
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Generation of Canonic Schemas'>
<p>
The interface between the XMPP engine, whether in the client or the server, and the EXI compression engine is required to provide the engine
with ONE XML Schema to use during the compression. The <link url='http://www.w3.org/TR/exi/'>Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format</link>
also specifies the use of Schema IDs identifying the schema to use.
</p>
<p>
However, in the XMPP case, the schema to provide to the EXI compression engine must be created dynamically based on the handshake provided during
setup of the connection. Since this generation must be done both on the server side as well as the client side, it is important that the schemas be
created semantically equivalent. This section describes how to create such schemas, henceforth called <strong>Canonical Schemas</strong> is described
in this section.
</p>
<p>
A canonical schema is simply a wrapper importing each of the schemas negotiated for the connection. The schemas MUST be imported in ascending namespace
order.
</p>
<p>
After generating the canonical schema, it's a good idea to create a corresponding Configuration ID. The Configuration ID however, includes not only
the schemas imported into the canonical schema, but also the EXI options to use during compression/decompression. The canonical schema should be
persisted for simple reuse when quick setup is used.
</p>
<p>
The target namespace of the canonical schema MUST be <strong>urn:xmpp:exi:cs</strong>.
</p>
<p>
The Schema ID to use is irrelevant in the XMPP layer of communiction. Therefore, the server and client can create their own Schema IDs, according to some
algorithm. It is not important if the Schema IDs match, since they are not used in data transmitted between the client and server.
</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic="Using EXI Option Documents for Shortcut Setup" anchor="shortcut">
<p>
The <strong>configurationId</strong> attribute has a similar attribute called <strong>configurationLocation</strong>. This attribute provides
a mechanism to setup an EXI connection rapidly using option documents installed as files on the server or available on the network accessible
through an URL.
</p>
<p>
A client may specify a configurationId or configurationLocation on exi:setup element. If the server has corresponding setup configuration, the server may respond with an exi:setupResponse with <strong>agreement="true"</strong>. If the server does not know the configurationId or does not be able to use the given configurationLocation, the server shall respond with an exi:setupResponse with <strong>agreement="false"</strong>.
</p>
<p>
This specification does not define the format of this Configuration Location attribute, and so it is server specific, or if it is supported.
If used on a server not supporting this attribute, or if the contents of the attribute is invalid, the server returns an <strong>agreement=false</strong>
response. Otherwise the semantics of the <strong>configurationLocation</strong> attribute is the same as for the <strong>configurationId</strong>
attribute, except it provide a mechism for static configurations, while the <strong>configurationId</strong> provides a mechanism for
dynamic configurations.

<section3 topic="Shortcut Setup for Alternative Transport Binding" anchor="shortcutAltBind">
<p>With alternative transport bind, following rule for shortcut may be used, assuming a server and a client have common shared configuration with configurationId="01234" as an example.</p>
<ul>
<li>
Client can start configured stream with a <strong>exi:streamStart</strong> element encoded in the configuration given in configurationId="01234". To indicate configurationId, a schemaId corresponds to the configurationId prefixed by "c:" SHALL be used. In this example, schemaId is "c:01234". EXI option in EXI option header other than the schemaId SHOULD NOT be specified.
</li>
<li>
If the server accepts the configuration, the server SHOULD respond with a <strong>exi:streamStart</strong> element encoded in the configuration given in the configurationId. The server SHALL put the schemaId in the EXI header of the response. No EXI options other than the schemaId SHOULD NOT be specified in the response EXI header. The EXI header is the indication of configuration agreement and SHALL NOT be omitted.
</li>
<li>
If the server does not accept the configuration, the server SHALL respond with a <strong>exi:streamEnd</strong> element encoded in the <link url="#defaultSchema">default schema</link> and the EXI header option SHOULD be empty.
</li>
<li>
The client can continue pre-configured stream if and only if it receives <strong>exi:streamStart</strong> element encoded in the configurationId with EXI option header that contains the identical schemaId. Otherwise, the client SHOULD start a new <strong>exi:streamStart</strong> with a new TCP connection an empty EXI option header (e.g. default schema). Current TCP connection SHOULD NOT be used for re-negotiation (configuration setup).

<section2 topic="Known problems with existing schemas" anchor="knownproblems">
<p>
The following sections list some known problems that might affect already defined schemas. For these schemas to be used
together with EXI compression, the recommended procedures should be considered. If changes to the schema is required,
new byte sizes and hash values must be computed for the changed schema correspondingly.
</p>
<p>
Patched version of XML schemas may be placed in the <link url="#wellknown">snapshot repository for well-known schemas</link> to avoid wild patches (and too many derived schema for the same model).
</p>
<section3 topic="Patch to avoid UPA for streams.xsd" anchor="patch">
<!-- [YD] -->
<p>
TBD: group discussion needed
</p>
<p>
streams.xsd defined in RFC6120 has 'unique particle attribution (UPA)' problem.
UPA is undeterministic attribution of an element between a wildcard and an explicit definition.
Details could be found in <link url="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#non-ambig">Appendix H</link> of XML schema specification.
</p>
<p>
A simple
way to solve UPA is to insert delimiters around wildcards to eliminate
ambiguity. A deterministic delimiter can resolve ambiguity.
The other way to solve UPA is to use 'weak wildcard model'
introduced in XML schema 1.1. The cause of ambiguity is lack of
precedence between explicit definitions and wildcard definitions. As
weak wildcards have weaker precedence against explicit definitions,
there are no ambiguity with UPA.
</p>
<p>
To keep the same semantics with current XML implementations, by
default this proposal recommends weak wildcard model on
implementations. However, if an implementation does not support weak
wildcards, it may use streams.xsd with following patch applied.

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
<p>
Note that EXI compressed information, even though it is hard to decode by humans, is by no means encrypted. If sensitive data is to be sent over an EXI compressed
channel, encryption should be considered as well.
</p>
<p>
The reason for using MD5 as a hashing mechanism to identify schema versions, is because MD5 has a small memory footprint and is easy to implement.
However, it has a weakness: Given a hash value, it's relatively easy to create another file returning the same hash value. However, it's very
difficult to create another file of the same size as the original, resulting in the same hash value. For this reason, file sizes are also included
when identifying a schema. Since the security threat, and any possible consequences of somebody trying to inject invalid schemas to a server is
relatively small, this is considered a sufficient protection against such threats.
</p>
<p>
The feature of uploading and downloading new schemas to the server is a feature that the server can disable for exceptional high security reasons, for instance,
in high-security installations where total control of the domain is necessary. Clients should be aware
if this fact and check setup after uploading or asking the server to download new schemas. If the setup fails a second time, i.e. schemas are still missing,
the client MUST NOT try to upload or download the missing schemas again, since this would provoke an indefinite loop.
</p>

<section1 topic='IANA Considerations' anchor='iana'>
<p>
<!-- [YD] static port number is optional -->
This XEP requires new service names (proposed 'xmpp-bclient' and 'xmpp-bserver') for SRV records registered in IANA.
A static port number for a dedicated binary EXI/XMPP binding may also be requested.
</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='XMPP Registrar Considerations' anchor='registrar'>
<p>
Some of schemas should be kept 'as-is' format in XSF registry. EXI interoperability
requires schema stability, so a snapshot repository of version-controlled well-known schemas is requested to XMPP Registrar.
Related discussion is in <link url="#wellknown">here</link>. Also, patched versions such as described in <link url="#knownproblems">Known problems</link>
should be placed in the same snapshot repository.
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, it is suggested that the table at <link url="http://xmpp.org/resources/schemas/">http://xmpp.org/resources/schemas/</link> is updated
with two columns containing updated byte size and MD5 hash information for the current files. Tools can be provided by the authors to automate
the extraction of byte size and MD5 Hash information from the collection of schema files and transform them to appropriate formats.
</p>
<p>
The <link url="#schema">protocol schema</link> needs to be added to the list of <link url="http://xmpp.org/resources/schemas/">XMPP protocol schemas</link>.
</p>
<p>
The target namespace for canonical schemas <strong>urn:xmpp:exi:cs</strong>, for default schemas <strong>urn:xmpp:exi:default</strong>, as well as the EXI compress schema namespace
<strong>http://jabber.org/protocol/compress/exi</strong> need to be registered on the list of known XSF schemas.

</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name='preserveLexical' type='xs:boolean' use='optional' default='false'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Lexical form of element and attribute values can be preserved in value content items. Can be used together with the strict option.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name='selfContained' type='xs:boolean' use='optional' default='false'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The selfContained option is a Boolean used to enable the use of self-contained elements in the EXI stream. Self-contained elements may be read independently from the rest of the EXI body, allowing them to be indexed for random access. The "selfContained" element MUST NOT appear in an EXI options document when one of "compression", "pre-compression" or "strict" elements are present in the same options document. The default value "false" is assumed when the "selfContained" element is absent from the EXI Options document whereas its presence denotes the value "true".</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name='blockSize' type='xs:positiveInteger' use='optional' default='1000000'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The blockSize option specifies the block size used for EXI compression. When the "blockSize" element is absent in the EXI Options document, the default blocksize of 1,000,000 is used. The default blockSize is intentionally large but can be reduced for processing large documents on devices with limited memory.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name='valueMaxLength' type='xs:positiveInteger' use='optional'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The valueMaxLength option specifies the maximum length of value content items to be considered for addition to the string table. The default value "unbounded" is assumed when the "valueMaxLength" element is absent in the EXI Options document.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name='valuePartitionCapacity' type='xs:positiveInteger' use='optional'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The valuePartitionCapacity option specifies the maximum number of value content items in the string table at any given time. The default value "unbounded" is assumed when the "valuePartitionCapacity" element is absent in the EXI Options document. Section 7.3.3 Partitions Optimized for Frequent use of String Literals specifies the behavior of the string table when this capacity is reached.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name='sessionWideBuffers' type='xs:boolean' use='optional' default='false'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>If set to true, all buffers, string tables, etc. will be maintained during the entire session. This may improve performance during time since strings
can be omitted in the compressed binary stream, but it might also in some cases degrade performance since more options are available in the tables, requiring more bits
to encode strings. The default value is false, meaning that buffers, string tables, etc., are cleared between each stanza.</xs:documentation>

<xs:enumeration value='bit-packed'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The alignment option value bit-packed indicates that the event codes and associated content are packed in bits without any padding in-between.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:enumeration>
<xs:enumeration value='byte-alignment'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The alignment option value byte-alignment indicates that the event codes and associated content are aligned on byte boundaries. While byte-alignment generally results in EXI streams of larger sizes compared with their bit-packed equivalents, byte-alignment may provide a help in some use cases that involve frequent copying of large arrays of scalar data directly out of the stream. It can also make it possible to work with data in-place and can make it easier to debug encoded data by allowing items on aligned boundaries to be easily located in the stream.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:enumeration>
<xs:enumeration value='pre-compression'>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>The alignment option value pre-compression indicates that all steps involved in compression (see section 9. EXI Compression) are to be done with the exception of the final step of applying the DEFLATE algorithm. The primary use case of pre-compression is to avoid a duplicate compression step when compression capability is built into the transport protocol. In this case, pre-compression just prepares the stream for later compression.</xs:documentation>
