Abstract

A method is for encoding a structured document, particularly an XML document, during which the contents of the document are converted into a binary representation. This binary representation is divided into encoding units, which form an encoded data flow and can be read out from the encoded data flow. The encoded data flow contains configuration data, with which configuration information concerning the division of the binary representation into encoding units can be read out before the reading out of one of more encoding units.
