TraCX: Transformation of Compressed XML - Advances in Databases - page 193

Our tests have shown that our XQuery processor is very efficient, such that it is not
only faster to transform the compressed document directly than to use the indirection
via decompression, XQuery transformation and recompression, but furthermore, that
our XQuery processor reaches an evaluation speed on compressed XML that is simi-
lar to and sometimes even outperforms the speed of other XQuery processors on un-
compressed XML.
As our approach is not limited to XQuery transformations of the Succinct XML re-
presentation [4], we consider it an interesting extension to integrate our approach to
XQuery evaluation on compressed XML formats with other queryable and updateable
XML compressors and to compare these XML compressors with plain XML regard-
ing the XQuery transformation speed.
