Size matters when storing XMP in a database or sending documents over a network. Above is a quick comparison between common compression methods gzip and snappy regarding runtime and size for documents in the samples/ directory. What's also included is a comparison of the uncompressed documents in XMP/XML and XMP/JSON format. Original means the initial XMP document as stored in .xmp sidecar files. To be fair, some originals use padding, so the mean size distribution is larger than what go-xmp generated here because padding was turned off during write.
