- Description
- GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the standard format used to define the partitions of computer storage devices like hard disks using globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). It is also used on some BIOS systems to replace the early version master boot record (MBR) method, which supported up to 2.2TB partitions. GPT supports up to 18 Terabytes partitions.
- Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) is a binary XML format for exchange of data on a computer network. It was developed by the W3C's Efficient Extensible Interchange Working Group and is one of the most prominent efforts to encode XML documents in a binary data format, rather than plain text. Using EXI format reduces the verbosity of XML documents as well as the cost of parsing. Improvements in the performance of writing (generating) content depends on the speed of the medium being written to, the methods and quality of actual implementations.
