1. A system configured to transmit data packets including data formatted in a binary extensible markup language (XML), comprising: a parser configured to convert from an extensible markup language (XML) representation that is compatible with standard XML and includes element start tags, element end tags and data values to a single data stream binary representation by providing binary data representations for element start tags and data values within the XML representation and by not providing binary data representations for element end tags within the XML representation, wherein the binary data representations are each formed using X-bit bytes, and wherein consistent extensible encoding is provided for each binary data representation by using a most-significant-bit of each X-bit byte as a termination indicator bit where a first logic level indicates the byte is a termination byte and a second logic level indicates that more bytes are included in a multi-byte data word, and wherein the XML representation and the binary representation are defined according to document type definition (DTD); a data storage system; a data packager within the parser, the data packager being configured to create data packets for the single data stream binary representation that is formed using the X-bit bytes, and a first interface coupled to the parser and configured to transmit the data packets for the single data stream binary representation through a data channel to a second interface associated with a second system; wherein the element start tags are represented using positive integer binary data representations; and wherein the data values are represented using binary data representations selected from a group comprising a string, an integer, a floating point number, an enumerated value, a pattern, and a packed component.
