Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus for providing encoding technology that enables data size reductions and analysis processing speed improvements even for data including elements having complex attribute values. The apparatus includes a file input unit that inputs a file including elements having a data stream of a predetermined format as an attribute value, a hierarchy information setting unit that sets hierarchy information indicating hierarchical positions for each of one or more delimiters included in the data stream, a structure information generating unit that generates structure information that defines mutual relations between hierarchy information, a designating unit that designates a region of a data stream of a predetermined format from the input file, and an encoding unit that detects delimiters from the designated region and, based on detected delimiters and structure information, encodes a data stream of the designated region based on a preset structured description language.
