A redundant structure based tokenization model for XML parsing on android mobile devices

This paper presents a novel approach based on structure recurrence in XML documents for Android mobile devices. The model identifies recurrent structures and gives a feasible solution to be easily adapted for resource constrained mobile devices. XML files with sequentially repetitive blocks of structures can be processed differently to reduce the processing time. It relieves the parser from the computationally intensive tokenization process and directly extracts the text data. From the simulation results it was observed that the proposed approach produces superior performance in terms of processing time. The experiments depict the fact that structure recurrence can significantly improve the efficiency with an overhead cost of 8%. Our experiments indicate the feasibility of the approach.
