Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to extensible markup language (XML) data processing and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for inter-device transfer of parsed XML documents. In one embodiment of the invention, a markup serialization method can be provided. The method can include receiving a request in a second computing process for offloaded parsing of markup from an application in a first computing process, retrieving markup from the application, parsing the markup in the second computing process to produce a serialized data object for the markup, placing the serialized data object into shared memory for the application, and returning a reference to the serialized data to the application.

Coordinated XML data parsing and processing from within separate computing processes

A method for validating messages in a message queuing software environment before the messages are transmitted to the recipient programs comprising a Message Validating Program (MVP). The present invention makes the message queuing software more efficient by eliminating the transmission of invalid messages through the message channels. The MVP acquires the messages as they are originated by the sender program and analyzes the message by comparing the message header and the message body to validating criteria. The validating criteria are the properties, ranges, types, character sets, and formats of data in the message header and message body that the recipient programs will accept. If the message body and the message header meet the validating criteria, then the message is forwarded to the appropriate message queue. If the message body and/or the message header do not meet the validating criteria, then an error is indicated to the sender program.
