z/TPF DFDL JSON XML Transformation Performance Optimization from Two Steps to One Step Transformation

1. Currently most DFDL Transformations are a 2 Step Process that is from XML/JSON to/from InfoNodes and then InfoNodes to/from Binary Structure.
2. Although this approach is flexible, extra transformation MIPS are required. The Transformation from MongoDB BSON to a Mixed Data Type Binary Structure is a single step process.
3. It would be ideal if the XML/JON Transformations to Binary Structures could be a single step process.

    Delivered in part. z/TPF APAR PJ45191 is now available to provide DFDL serializer API for JSON, which addresses the JSON to binary requirement. IBM does not intend to implement the XML to binary aspect in the foreseeable future.
    z/TPF APAR PJ44894 provides the binary to JSON aspect.
