Abstract

Disclosed herein is an optimized data interchange system, method and architecture. An original data interchange document, such as a JavaScript™ Object Notation (JSON) document, comprising a number of name/value pairs is separated, or split, into a template document and a data document for separate transmission. The two documents can be recombined at a destination computing device.
