1. Introduction

Everyone knows that binary data encodings are much more efficient than the Extensible Markup Language (XML). Given that XMPP is an application profile of XML, it is a wonder that XMPP works at all! Clearly, XMPP would benefit from a binary representation. Therefore, this specification defines Binary XMPP.

2. Protocol

XMPP Core [1] defines the traditional representation of XMPP. For instance, an empty presence stanza (such as might be provided on login) is as follows:

Example 1. Traditional XMPP stanza
<presence/>

That string can be represented in binary as follows:

Example 2. Binary representation
0011110001110000011100100110010101110011011001010110111001100011011001010010111100111110

The bit sequence is therefore represented in Binary XMPP as follows (line breaks are provided only for the purpose of readability):

Example 3. Binary XMPP representation
<zero/><zero/><one/><one/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/>
<zero/><one/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><zero/><zero/>
<zero/><one/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><one/><zero/>
<zero/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><one/><zero/><one/>
<zero/><one/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><one/><one/>
<zero/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><one/><zero/><one/>
<zero/><one/><one/><zero/><one/><one/><one/><zero/>
<zero/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><zero/><one/><one/>
<zero/><one/><one/><zero/><zero/><one/><zero/><one/>
<zero/><zero/><one/><zero/><one/><one/><one/><one/>
<zero/><zero/><one/><one/><one/><one/><one/><zero/>

This is an obvious improvement over the traditional representation.

It might be objected that the Binary XMPP representation requires a large number of XML elements. However, because all data is represented using only <zero/> and <one/>, the protocol can be significantly compressed using the standard ZLIB compression algorithm as defined in RFC 1950 [2], which SHOULD be enabled by default on the bxmpp port. Evidence from preliminary testing indicates that compression of Binary XMPP results in a representation less than 2% of the original size!

As a further simplification, Binary XMPP gets rid of the complicated stream negotiation process defined in RFC 3920. Instead, if a server supports Binary XMPP it advertises a special DNS SRV record _bxmpp._tcp in accordance with RFC 2782 [3]. Furthermore, only one record is needed, thus saving precious port space. The RECOMMENDED port for Binary XMPP communication is 10110, but any port MAY be used.

To start a Binary XMPP stream, the sender simply connects via TCP at the advertised port and starts sending <zero/> and <one/> elements. The lack of a stream header simplifies XML parsing, introducing further performance improvements.

3. Examples

The following examples showcase the tremendous efficiency of Binary XMPP using a complete session between a client and a server.

Example 4. Client sends initial stream header (XMPP)
<stream:stream
     from='juliet@example.com'
     to='example.com'
     version='1.0'
     xml:lang='en'
     xmlns='jabber:client'
     xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'>

And so on. Much more efficient, eh?

4. Internationalization Considerations

The <zero/> and <one/> elements use English-language words as the element names. Clearly it would have been preferable to define an i18n-friendly binding, such that German-language applications could encode Binary XMPP using the <null/> and <eins/> elements, Greek-language applications could use the <μηδέν/> and <ἑνα/> elements, etc. Flexibility regarding internationalization of the element names may be added in Binary XMPP 2.0.

5. Security Considerations

Because it is simply an alternative representation of XMPP, Binary XMPP inherits all of the security characteristics of XMPP (the good, the bad, and the ugly).

Use of port 10110 is obviously secure, since 10110 in base 2 is 22 in base 10, the same default port as Secure Shell (see RFC 4251 [4]).

6. IANA Considerations

The XMPP Registrar [5] shall work with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [6] to register "bxmpp" as a keyword for port 10111.

7. XMPP Registrar Considerations

The XMPP Registrar shall include 'urn:xmpp:bxmpp' in its registry of protocol namespaces (see <https://xmpp.org/registrar/namespaces.html>).

Appendix D: Relation to XMPP

The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is defined in the XMPP Core (RFC 6120) and XMPP IM (RFC 6121) specifications contributed by the XMPP Standards Foundation to the Internet Standards Process, which is managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force in accordance with RFC 2026. Any protocol defined in this document has been developed outside the Internet Standards Process and is to be understood as an extension to XMPP rather than as an evolution, development, or modification of XMPP itself.
