EIGEN: XML-less EXI with code generation for smart energy home appliances

In this research, we focus on EXI, the standard binary representation of XML. EXI encode and decoder translate between EXI data stream and XML document. We propose a way to read/write certain forms of structured data directly from/to EXI stream. In our approach, designers of home appliances configure data of interest against the schema of EXI stream, and we generate EXI encoder and decoder designed for the configured data structure only.
