- Description
- The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)contains information on how the boot process should be carried out. It accurately outlines the interface between the OS and the platform firmware. It replaces the previous Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware in the IBM PC. With UEFI, you don't have to install an OS for remote repairs and troubleshooting of computers.
- 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.
