XStream or Simple

Question

I need to decide on which one to use. My case is pretty simple. I need to convert a simple POJO/Bean to XML, and then back. Nothing special.

One thing I am looking for

Answer 1

Why not use JAXB instead?

• 100% schema coverage
• Huge user base
• Multiple implementations (in case you hit a bug in one)
• Included in Java SE 6, compatible with JDK 1.5
• Binding layer for JAX-WS (Web Services)
• Binding layer for JAX-RS (Rest)
• Compatible with JSON (when used with libraries such as Jettison)
