Abstract
A system for representing and generating XML data is provided. The system includes one or more processors and a mapping module configured to execute upon the one or more processors. The mapping module is configured to map each sparsely-encoded XML element of a sparse representation of a document into a complete, valid XML document. The system also includes a defaulting module configured to execute upon the one or more processors. The defaulting module is configured to generate at least one XML element missing in the sparse representation, but required to generate the complete, valid XML document.
