"In Forrester's 40-criteria evaluation of application programming interface (API) management solutions, we identified the 11 most significant software providers in the category - 3scale, Apigee, Axway, CA Technologies, IBM, Informatica, Intel Services, MuleSoft, SOA Software, Tibco Software, and WSO2 - and researched, analyzed, and evaluated them. This report details our findings about how well each vendor's products fulfill our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other. This analysis, combined with three buying guides that highlight key make-or-break decision factors, will help AD&D professionals select the right partner for their API management needs."

"We present a novel streaming algorithm for evaluating XPath expressions that use backward axes (parent and ancestor) and forward axes in a single document-order traversal of an XML document. Other streaming XPath processors, such as YFilter, XTrie, and TurboXPath handle only forward axes. We show through experiments that our algorithm significantly outperforms (by more than a factor of two) a traditional non-streaming XPath engine. Furthermore, since our algorithm only retains relevant portions of the input document in memory, it scales better than traditional XPath engines. It can process large documents; we have successfully tested documents over 1GB in size. On the other hand, the traditional XPath engine degrades considerably in performance for documents over 100 MB in size and fails to complete for documents of size over 200 MB."

"Our project (titled xstream)  concentrated on evaluation of XPath over XML streams. This research area contains multiple challenges resulting  from both the richness  of the language and the requirement of having only a single  pass over the data. We modified and extended one of the known algorithms, TurboXPath  [4], a tree-based IBM algorithm. We also  provide extensive comparative analysis between  TurboXPath and XSQ [5], currently the most advanced of  finite automata (FA)-based algorithms."

"XSQ evaluates XPath queries over streaming XML data. That is, it makes only pass over the data, in an order determined by the data source"

"Terrier is a highly flexible, efficient, and effective open source search engine, readily deployable on large-scale collections of documents. Terrier implements state-of-the-art indexing and retrieval functionalities, and provides an ideal platform for the rapid development and evaluation of large-scale retrieval applications."
