I'm amused, scared, and a little tempted by this vision.
Prior art (kind of): XML Accelerator XA35 - http://soasecure.com/xml-accelerator-xa35/ http://soasecure.com/xml-accelerator-xa35/
> The XML Accelerator XA35 is a highly efficient XML processing engine that makes use of purpose-built features such as optimized caches and dedicates SSL hardware to process XML at near wire-speed.
> The appliance can be used inline in the network topology, not as a coprocessor that hangs off a particular server. A popular use for the appliance is to receive XML responses from servers and transform them into HTML before forwarding the response to the client.

- kaszanka 6y agoThis just gives me a "Wordfence" 503 for no apparent reason. Here's an archive.org link for the benefit of anyone else who might want to read the product information despite the site owner's arbitrary restrictions: http://web.archive.org/web/20180829042526/http://soasecure.com/xml-accelerator-xa35/ http://web.archive.org/web/20180829042526/http://soasecure.c...
- lioeters 6y agoThanks! I suppose the site is "secure" by blocking an overly broad set of IP addresses.. The whole thing is kind of "last century", but amusing to know that dedicated hardware exists for XML. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing such hardware for web view rendering, or JavaScript execution.
