Abstract
Because of a growing interest in using XML for massive complex data there has been considerable research on designing XML compressors. This paper presents our research aimed at building parallel XML compressors, using Java and OpenMP (with C++). Our findings show that OpenMP is a preferred choice achieving better results than Java using a multi-core platform.
