WBXML

WAP Binary XML (WBXML) is a binary representation of XML. It was developed by the WAP Forum and is now maintained by the Open Mobile Alliance as a standard to allow XML documents to be transmitted in a compact manner over mobile networks and proposed as an addition to the World Wide Web Consortium's Wireless Application Protocol family of standards.

WBXML is used by a number of mobile phones. Usage includes SyncML for transmitting address book and calendar data, Wireless Markup Language, Wireless Village, OMA DRM for its rights language and Over-the-air programming for sending network settings to a phone.
