Binary Web Page Compilation for Client-Side Rendering Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web browsing technologies experience delays and inefficiencies due to the parsing and processing of hypertext markup language (HTML) text strings on client devices, particularly on devices with limited system resources, such as mobile devices, which also incur higher data transmission costs due to string data types requiring more data and memory.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that compiles HTML documents into a binary representation, generating a document object model (DOM) which is transmitted as a random-access file, allowing clients to load and render web pages without parsing HTML text strings, using a binary representation dictionary and version identifiers to manage updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If HTML text strings are transmitted to the client, then the web page content can be displayed, but the parsing and processing of text strings requires time and system resources, causing delay in display
Solution Approach 1:
The HTML document is pre-compiled into a binary representation on the server before transmission. This preliminary action converts the text-based HTML into a parsed, structured format that the client can directly load without performing time-consuming parsing operations, thus reducing load time while maintaining display capability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the data format parameter from text-based HTML strings to binary representation. This parameter change fundamentally alters how the data is transmitted and processed, enabling faster client-side loading by eliminating the need for text parsing while preserving the essential web page structure and content
2Reliability
If HTML text strings are transmitted to the client, then the web page content can be displayed, but string data types require more data and larger memory footprint
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the data format parameter from text-based HTML strings to binary representation. Binary data types inherently require fewer bytes to represent the same information compared to text strings, thus reducing the quantity of data transmitted over the network and the memory footprint on the client device while maintaining complete web page display capability
3Reliability
If HTML text strings are parsed and processed on the client, then the web page can be displayed, but devices with fewer system resources experience noticeable delay
Solution Approach 1:
The parsing and processing work is performed in advance on the server during the compilation phase. The client receives the already-parsed binary representation, which eliminates the need for resource-intensive parsing operations on client devices with limited processing power, thus improving rendering efficiency without sacrificing display capability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical parsing process (which requires significant CPU resources) with a direct binary loading mechanism. Instead of mechanically parsing text strings on the client, the system substitutes this with loading pre-compiled binary data that can be directly interpreted, thereby improving productivity on resource-constrained devices
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for providing a binary representation of a web page. A server may compile a source page, such as a hypertext markup language (“HTML”) document, to create a compiled representation of the source page. Creation of a compiled representation may include generating a document object model (“DOM”) for the content associated with the source page. The compiled page may be transmitted to a client as a random-access file or flat file, where the data is encoded in one or more data types other than a string representation. The client may receive the compiled page and load the compiled page directly as a DOM for the page without the need to parse HTML text strings. The server and client may reconcile the data format of the compiled page, such as by exchanging or verifying a compiler dictionary associated with the page.
