What is JAXB and why would I use it? [closed]

Answer 1

With JAXB you can automatically create XML representations of your objects (marshalling) and object representations of the XML (unmarshalling).

As far as the XML Schema is concerned, you have two choices:

• Generate Java classes from an XSD
• Generate an XSD from your Java classes

There are also some simpler XML serialization libraries like XStream, Digester or XMLBeans that might be alternatives.
